Abstract

Nonlinear saturation of a toroidal Alfvén eigenmode via ion induced scattering is investigated in the short-wavelength gyrokinetic regime. It is found that the nonlinear evolution depends on the thermal ion value. Here, is the plasma thermal to magnetic pressure ratio. Both the saturation levels and associated energetic-particle transport coefficients are derived and estimated correspondingly.
