 Repetitive chirping  Period in sub-millisecond  90 o phase shift  Transport enhanced Universal mechanism? Various chirping events in tokamaks NBI-driven TAE on MAST(Pinches, ppcf2004) NBI-driven TAE on NSTX (pppl4719,Podesta, NF2011) GAE burst on NSTX (Fredrickson, POP2006) Energetic particle produced by fusion reaction and auxiliary heating attracts many attentions because we want to use them to heat the plasmas. Meanwhile, large lose of EP by transport may cause damage to the fusion devices. MHD modes driven by EP are often associated with frequency chirping.

Chirping study by theory and simulation  One-dimensional analytic model recovers many kinds of chirping events. (Berk, PRL1992)  Single burst of chirping is recovered by hybrid MHD simulation with source and sink (Lang, POP2010)  In our work, we use Gyrokinetic simulation with realistic toroidal geometry Chirping events are intensively studied by theory and simulation

Gyrokinetic Turbulence Approach for EP Simulation Fully self-consistent simulation of EP turbulence and transport in burning plasmas must incorporate kinetic effects of thermal particles and coupling to microturbulence Large dynamical ranges of spatial-temporal processes require simulation codes efficient in utilizing massively parallel computers at petascale and beyond Therefore, studies of EP physics in ITER burning plasmas call for a new approach of global nonlinear gyrokinetic simulation [

Gyrokinetic Toroidal Code (GTC) Confinement and stability properties of fusion plasmas depend on nonlinear interaction of multiple physical processes ► Microturbulence, energetic particle (EP), magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes, heating/current drive using radio-frequency (RF), …. GTC Physics Integration Goal: first-principles simulations of microturbulence + EP + MHD + RF ► General geometry & experimental profiles ► Kinetic electrons & electromagnetic fluctuations ► Gyrokinetic or fully kinetic ions ► Equilibrium current ► Scalable to 100 thousand cores; GPU acceleration [

GTC Simulations of TAE, RSAE, BAE Verified Using identical geometry and profile data of DIII-D shot # , GTC, GYRO, and TAEFL observed similar transition of RSAE to TAE, frequency up- sweeping, and mode structures in good agreement with experiments.
