Quasilinear and nonlinear dynamics of energetic-ion-driven Alfvénic eigenmodes
The destabilization of plasma waves upon their interaction with fast ions is studied using a kinetic framework. The work consists of two parts: (I) a study of the applicability of quasilinear theory using a pertubative, early-time nonlinear evolution of a mode and its prediction with respect to chir...
