Abstract
Geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) continuum excitation by drift waves is studied as a parametric process, taking into account non-uniform ion temperature profiles. With a model profile, analytical results for the growth rate, the radial structures of the drift wave sideband potential and the field of GAMs are obtained perturbatively. The expression for the growth rate is investigated under several conditions, including uniform ion temperature.
