摘要： Discrete Alfvén eigenmodes in steady-state operation scenarios with negative magnetic shear in the international thermonuclear experimental reactor are investigated in this paper. These magnetohydrodynamic eigenmodes are trapped by the α -induced potential wells along the magnetic field line. Here α =-q2Rdβ/d r with q being the safety factor, β the ratio between plasma and magnetic pressures, and R the major radius, and r the minor radius. Due to negligible continuum damping via wave energy tunneling, these Alfvén eigenmodes could be readily destabilized by energetic particles.

Abstract: Discrete Alfvén eigenmodes in steady-state operation scenarios with negative magnetic shear in the international thermonuclear experimental reactor are investigated in this paper. These magnetohydrodynamic eigenmodes are trapped by the $\alpha$ -induced potential wells along the magnetic field line. Here $\alpha=-q^2R{\rm d}\beta/{\rm d}r$ with q being the safety factor, $\beta$ the ratio between plasma and magnetic pressures, and R the major radius, and r the minor radius. Due to negligible continuum damping via wave energy tunneling, these Alfvén eigenmodes could be readily destabilized by energetic particles.

Key words: Alfvén eigenmodes, negative magnetic shear, magnetohydrodynamic instability
