Abstract
The effects of an energetic ion tail produced by ICRH minority heating have been simulated by iteratively using the transport code JETTO, the full wave code TORIC and the quasi‐linear Fokker‐Planck routine SSQLFP. This study has been done in order to determine the characteristic fast ion parameters that are necessary for addressing some of the ITER burning plasma physics issues, such as the fast ion transport due to collective mode excitations. The destabilization and saturation of fast ion driven Alfvénic modes are investigated by numerical simulations with the HMGC code, which assumes the anisotropic energetic particle distribution function accelerated by ICRH as input. The Fusion Advanced Studies Torus (FAST) H‐mode reference scenario is considered in deuterium plasma with dimensionless parameters similar to those of ITER. The results of this study, obtained by integration of different numerical simulation analyses aimed at investigating the various relevant physics, are presented and discussed.
