I will then explain previous results and issues of Alfvén Eigenemodes Experiments in JT-60U. Next, I will show you the experimental results of Alfvén Eigenemodes conducted in weak shear plasmas, After I will explain the proferty of Alfvén Eigenemodes in weak shaea plasma, I will then report the result of investigation of confinement degradation of energetic ions due to AEs. Finally I will make a brief summary.

Background Burning plasmas are self-sustained by alpha-particle heating However, a high alpha particle pressure gradient could destabilize Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) Burning plasma Loss of α-particle AEs induce the enhanced transport of alpha-particles from the core region - A performance of a burning plasma could be degraded - First walls could be damaged by lost alpha-particles Fast α-particle Shear Alfvén wave Introduction Burning plasmas are self sustained by alpha-particle heating However, a high alpha particle pressure gradient could destabilize Alfven Eigenmode, AEs Then, AE induce the enhance ment transport of alpha particles from the core region. Due to such AE, A performance of a burning plasma could be degraded Also, First walls could be damaged by lost alpha-particles Therefore Understanding of the alpha particle transport in the presence of AEs is one of the urgent research issues for ITER Excitation of AE Understanding of the alpha particle transport in the presence of AEs is the important research issues for ITER

Previous results and issues of AE studies in JT-60U In JT-60U, AE experiments have been performed utilizing Co-injected Negative-ion-based Neutral Beam (NNB) (ENNB : 340 ~ 400keV, PNNB :3 ~ 5MW) in several kinds of magnetic shear plasma under combination with PNBs In weak shear plasma with large h • Bursting AEs called Abrupt Large amplitude Events (ALEs) (h : energetic ion beta) redistribution of energetic ions due to resonant interaction with AEs M. Ishikawa, 20th. IAEA FEC in Portugal New simulation result G. Vlad, TH/P6-4 Fri, (this Conf.) time scale : < 1 ms ALE amplitude : large In JT-60U, in order to investigate energetic ion behavior due to AE, AE experiments have been performed utilizing Negative-ion-based Neutral beam, NNB, in several kinds of magnetic shear plasma under combination with PNBs We are carring out AE experiments in weak shear plasma extensively, because weak shear plasma is one of the steady state scenario in ITER experiments In weak shear plasmas with large energetic ion beta, Bursting AEs called Abrupt Large amplitude Events, ALE have been observed. The time scale of ALE is less than 1 millisecond and the amplitude is large. For ALE, we have observed redistribution of energetic ions due to resonant interaction with AEs. Then, I reported this result last IAEA conference in Portugal. In weak shear plasma with moderate energetic ion beta, we have observed AEs with moderate amplitude like this. This AE has frequency sweeping of the time scale of a few handred milliseconds, so called RSAE. For this kind of AEs, We did not investigated energetic ion behavior yet, Recently, we have investigated energetic ion behavior during this kind of AEs. Here I will show the results In weak shear plasma with moderate h time scale : 100ms ~ 1 s amplitude : moderate We did not investigate energetic ion behavior Investigation energetic ion behavior

Diagnostics for investigation of energetic ion transport To investigate energetic ion behavior in the presence of AEs radial profile energy distribution Neutron emission profile measurement CX neutral particle measurement To investigate energetic ion behavior in the presence of AEs, We investigate the radial profile of energetic ions. In order to investigate radial profile of energetic ions, we measure neutron emission profiles. As shown here, we have 6 channel neutron emission profile measurement system., because beam thermal neutron is dominant component of the total neutron emission rate In AE experiment with NNB, we can infer change in the radial profile of energetic ions ,from change in the neutron emission profile. Also, we investigate energy distribution of energetic ions by measuring charge exchange neutral particle. The neutral particles are measured with a natural diamond detector installed in the co direction port. Because energy distribution of neutral particles has information of energy distribution of energetic ions, we can investigate change in velocity space of energetic ions. Neutral Particle Analyzer (NDD) Neutron Profile Monitor Energy distribution of neutral particles has information on energy distribution of energetic ions Beam -Thermal neutron is dominant component of the total neutron rate

AEs in Weak Shear Plasma (moderate bh) E46078 1.0MA/1.7T, ENNB~390 (keV) (A) n =1 modes with up-frequency sweeping are observed and its frequency saturates. (A) (B) (B) Only weak AEs are observed qmn~ 1.5 transition (2) 2 > qmn > 1.5 RSAE (1) qmn< 1.5 qmn= 1.4 TAE (3) qmn= 1.2 (4) classical bb weak AEs I’ll show you typical results of AE experiment in weak shear plasma under moderate energetic ion beta. This figure shows time trace of injection power of NNB, the minimum value of safety factor, qmin. NNB was turned off from 6.5s to 6.8s. These figure show the time trace of the frequency spectrum of the magnetic fluctuation. And, this figure shows the time trace of the amplitude of the magnetic fluctuation. As you can see, in early NNB injection phase, we labeled A, n =1 modes with up frequency sweeping are observed and it frequency saturate. On the other hand, in the later NNB injection phase, we labeled, B, only weak AEs are observed, such AEs are not observed. Mode amplitude of this AEs are much smaller than such n = 1 AEs. This evolution is explained as follows, corresponding to q minimum evolution. These figure show continuum gap map at these time durations. Namely this figure correspond to time duration of q minimum from 2 to 1.5. In the time duration, RSAE frequency on the tip of lower continuum increase as q minimum decrease. In this time duration of q minimum around 1.5, these continuum hit each other and then the TAE gap appear, RSAE transit to TAE, here, I call this phase as transition phase. In this time duration of q minimum less than 1.5, frequency follow the evolution of TAE. In later NNB injection phase, TAE are not excited. Probably this reason can be the energetic ion profile. This figure shows classical energetic ion beta profile calculated by Orbit following monte carlo code, OFMC. Amount and gradient of energetic ion beta, that is driving term of Alfven eigenmode, are small in TAE gap region like this. We have investigated energetic ion confinement for this discharge. Energetic ion confinement with AE can be investigated by compared with that in the later NNB injection phase RSAE is global AEs localized near the zero magnetic shear region.

Confinement degradation of energetic ions due to n = 1 AEs E46078 1.0MA/1.7T To investigate energetic ion confinement, the total neutron rate (Sn) is calculated with the OFMC code (A) (B) • Confinement of energetic ions is classical (B) with only weak AEs (A) with clear AEs Measured Sn is smaller than calculated one Time evolution of measured Sn agrees with calculated Sn ~ Classical confinement Confinement degradation DSn/Sn ~ 25 % What you see here is time evolution of power of NNB and frequency spectrum, mode amplitude of magnetic fluctuation in the same discharge, I show the previous view graph. This figure shows time trace of total neutron emission rate. Total neutron emission rate in the later NNB injection phase ia larger than that in early NNB injection phase even the injection power of NNB is lower by about 1 MW. This suggests confinement degradation of energetic ion due to these AE. Then, to investigate of energetic ion confinement. Total neutron emission rate is calculated with Orbit Following Montecalro Code, OFMC code in JT-60U. In this calculation, it is assumed confinement of energetic ions is classical. Red circles in this figure show calculated total neutron rate . In the later NNB injection phase with only weak AE. The evolution of the measured Sn is almost consistent withthat of the calculated Sn. This indicates confinement in this region is almost classical. On the other hand, in early NNB injection phase with clear AEs, Measured Sn is smaller than calculated one. This indicated energetic ion confinement is degraded due to these n = 1 AEs. This figure shows reduction rate of measured Sn from the calculated one. The rediction rate is up to 25%. Horizontal axis in this figure is mode amplitude of the magnetic fluctuation and vertical axis is the reduction rate of the neutron emission rate. The reduction rate is large when mode amplitude is large. Thus, confinement degradation of energetic ions due to these AE are observed quantitatively. However, such total neutron rate is is a volume-integrated value, energetic ions transport in the plasma or lost is unknown. Reduction rate in Sn increases when mode amplitude increases DSn/Sn Energetic ion transport ?

Energetic ion transport from the core region due to AEs To investigate energetic ion transport, neutron emission profile was measured Plasma configuration and sight lines Calculated line integrated neutron profile with a transport code (TOPICS) is compared with the measurement. (A) (B) (A) with AEs (t=6.4s) (B) with weak AEs (t=7.8s) Then, in order to investigate energetic ion transport during AEs, we measure neutron emission profile. What you see here is frequency spectrum of magnetic fluctuation of same discharge and each signal of 6 channel of line integrated neutron emission rate. This figure shows plasma configuration and each sight line.the color in this figure correspond to color in this figure. Innermost channel is largest and outermost channel signal is smallest. Here, in order to investigate of energetic ion transport during these AEs, we calculate line integrated neutron emission profile along each sight line with a transport code TOPICS and compared with the measurement at these point. In this calculation, classical confinement of energetic ions is assumed. This figure is just a comparison of line integrated neutron emission profile between measurement and calculation. Horizontal axis in these figure is the innermost normalized minor radius each sight line passed through the plasma. As you can see, in the case of the later NNB injection phase, difference between measurement and calculation is small. On the other hand, in the presence of clear AEs, measured neutron emission rate in the center region are smaller than calculation and outer region is larger. This figure shows ratio of measurement to calculation. Less than 1 means measured neutron rate is smaller than calculation, namely smaller than classical value. In the center region with AE, measured neutron is much smaller than the classical value by 40 % This result indicates energetic ions were transported from the core region to the outer region during AEs. Energetic ion transport from the core region of the plasma

Local transport of energetic ions in the transition phase In transition phase, The innermost channel signal does not increase qmin=1.5 The second channel signal increases rapidly Further, we focus attention on change in neutron emission profile in the transition phase. What you see here is the same figure I show the previous viewgraph. This broken line is time of q minimum is 1.5. In this region, TAE gap appear and mode transit to TAE. Then, in this transition phase, increase of the innermost channel signal stopped like this. On the other hand, rate of increase of the second channel signal enhanced like this. Then, in order to investigate energetic ion behavior in the transition phase, we calculate line integrated neutron emission rate with the topics code and compare with measurement. First is in this point,,,,,,, . This figure shows the ratio of measured line integrated neutron emission profile to the calculation with TOPICS code. Horizontal line is innermost normalized minor radius each sight lin path though. Vertical axis is ratio of measurement to calculation. Value less than 1 means measurement is smaller than the classical value. At this point, the signals in the center region is smaller than the classical value. Further we compare at this point, as you can see, signal of inner most channel further decrease and second signal increase compared with this point. Checking the alfven continuum, in the transition phase, TAE gap appear in the center region and q minimum and TAE gap both lie the round r/a < 0.3. Then, this result suggest local transport of energetic ions in the center region due to AEs core localized. qmin and q = 1.5 surface (TAE gap) both lie around r/a < 0.3 Local transport of energetic ions in the center region

Fluids 26 (1983) 2958 ) N= (f / fc) q - nq + m = integer f = mode frequency (60 - 70 kHz) q = safety factor ( 1.4 - 1.6) n, m = toroidal, poloidal mode number Fc = troidal transition frequency of energetic ions Resonant energy range => 140 ~ 280 keV Let’s move to the next topic. Here I will show you the result of neutral particle measurement with natural diamond detector. This figure is frequency spectrum and what you see here is energy distribution of charge exchange neutral particles. Red line is during AE, and blue line is in the later NNB injection phase. As you can see, due to AE, neutral particles in this energy range are enhanced. This figure shows energy dependence of enhancement factor due to AEs. Form this figure, neutral particle fluxes in limited energy range (50 ~ 300 keV) are enhanced. Peak fraction of enhanced neutral particle flux is ~200 keV. This equation shows resonance condition between energetic ions and mode. Substituting the experimental parameter, we can calculate the energy region satisfying resonant condition. From calculation, resonant energy range is obtained from 140 keV to 280 keV. As you can see, Changes in the energy distribution suggest the resonant interaction between energetic ions and modes. Further enhancement in such lower energy region. It is considered to be due to slowing down of transported energetic ions. Changes in the energy distribution suggest the resonant interaction between energetic ions and modes
