Abstract Various types of Alfvén Eigenmodes (AEs) have been destabilized by fast ions over a broad frequency range from ~80 kHz to ~700 kHz in a series of JET experiments in mixed D-3He plasmas heated with the three-ion ICRF scenario [M. Nocente et al., Nucl. Fusion 60, 124006 (2020)]. In this paper, we identify the radial localization of AEs using an X-mode reflectometer, a multiline interferometer and soft X-ray diagnostics. The analysis is focused on the most representative example of these measurements in JET pulse #95691, where two different types of Alfvén cascade (AC) eigenmodes were observed. These modes originate from the presence of a local minimum of the safety factor qmin. In addition to ACs with frequencies below the frequency of toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes (TAEs), ACs with frequencies above the TAE frequency were destabilized by energetic ions. Both low- (f ≈80-180 kHz) and high-frequency (f ≈ 330-450 kHz) ACs were localized in the central regions of the plasma. The characteristics of the high-frequency ACs are investigated in detail numerically using HELENA, CSCAS and MISHKA codes. The resonant conditions for the mode excitation are found to be determined by passing ions of rather high energy of several hundred keV and similar to those established in JT-60U with negative-ion-based NBI [M. Takechi et al., Phys. Plasmas 12, 082509 (2005)]. The computed radial mode structure is found to be consistent with the experimental measurements. In contrast to low-frequency ACs observed most often, the frequency of the high-frequency ACs decreases with time as the value of qmin decreases. This feature is in a qualitative agreement with the analytical model of the high-frequency ACs in [B.N. Breizman et al., Phys. Plasmas 10 3649 (2003)]. The high-frequency AC could be highly relevant for future ITER and fusion reactor plasmas dominated by ~ MeV energetic ions, including a significant population of passing fast ions.

Particle Confinement

In experiments with neutral beam injection at the early stage of a Globus-M discharge, instabilities were observed that were excited by fast ions in the frequency range of 50–200 kHz, which were identified as toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes (TAE) (Petrov et al., Plasma Phys. Rep., vol. 37, 2011, pp. 1001–1005). In contradiction with the NSTX and MAST tokamaks, a regime of TAE generation was realized with strongly developed single modes. Magnetic measurements with fast Mirnov probes have shown that most of the modes have toroidal number $n=1$. The influence of the modes on the fast particle confinement was recorded by means of a tangentially directed neutral particle analyser (NPA) and neutron detector. Hydrogen and deuterium were used as target plasma and injected beam for study of the isotopic effect. At deuterium injection into the deuterium plasma, TAE led to the neutron rate dropping by 25 %, whereas NPA fluxes of high energy dropped by 75 %. At hydrogen injection, the drop in the measured NPA fluxes did not exceed 25 %.
