Effect of Trapped Energetic Particles on the Resistive Wall Mode
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2011

A stability analysis for the resistive wall mode is studied in the presence of trapped energetic particles (EPs). When the EPs’ beta exceeds a critical value, a fishbonelike bursting mode (FLM) with an external kink eigenstructure can exist. This offers the first analytic interpretation of the experimental observations [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 103 045001 (2009)]. The mode-particle resonances for the FLM and the q=1 fishbone occur in different regimes of the precession frequency of EPs. In certain ranges of the plasma rotation speed and the EPs’ beta, a mode conversion can occur between the resistive wall mode and FLM.
