Abstract
The possibility of a new set of thermonuclear cone instabilities in tokamaks is demonstrated. These instabilities are caused by an inherent anisotropy existing in the alpha-particle velocity distribution function owing to the finite width of the particle orbits in combination with a spatially varying particle source. The conditions for the excitation of shear Alfvén waves by well-trapped alpha particles are studied.
