2 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 2 Background A variety of experimental observations have recently renewed the interest in the detailed structures of the Alfvén continuum at low frequencies: finite frequency fishbone oscillations at the GAM frequency and low-frequency feature of Alfvén Cascades (JET) observation of a broad band discrete Alfvén spectrum (DIII-D with n 2 40) excited by both energetic ions (low-n) and thermal ions (high-n) excitations of BAE modes by finite amplitude magnetic islands (FTU, TEX- TOR) evidence of GAM structures (DIII-D, CHS, JFT-2M, HL-2A, AUG, T10, TEXT) All these observations well fit within the present theoretical understanding, which poses new challenging questions to be addressed by next step experiments and theories of burning plasmas. Due to the degeneracy of GAM and BAE accumulation points, these questions encompass issues that impact macroscopic MHD as well as plasma micro-turbulence in a subtle way.
3 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 3 Structures of the low-frequency Alfvén cont. spectrum Shear Alfvén continuous spectrum is damped by phase mixing (H. Grad, 1969, PhTo 22 34) ω 2 = k 2 v2 A. Geometry effects: symmetry breaking in torus Shear Alfvén continuum with gaps (C.E. Kieras, et al. 1982, JPP ). Low-frequency Shear Alfvén Wave (SAW) gap: ω ω i ω ti ; Λ 2 (ω) = k 2 v2 A (ideal MHD) accumulation point (at ω = 0) shifted by thermal ion kinetic effects (F. Zonca, et al. 1996, PPCF ) new low-frequency gap! Diamagnetic drift: KBM (H. Biglari, et al. 1991, PRL ) Thermal ion compress.: BAE (W.W.

12 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 11 BAE GAM degeneracy Kinetic expression of the GAM dispersion relation is degenerate with that of the low frequency shear Alfvén accumulation point (BAE) in the long wavelength limit (no diamagnetic effects). This degeneracy is not accidental [Zonca&Chen PPCF 2006, IAEA 2006, NF 2007]and is due to the identical dynamics of GAM (n = m = 0) and s.a. wave near the mode rational surface (nq m) under the action of geodesic curvature, the difference between the two branches is in the mode polarization In reference to experimental observations of modes at the GAM frequency, besides measuring the mode frequency, it is necessary to measure polarization and toroidal mode number to clearly identify the mode. BAE excitation: n m 0 excitation by both energetic ions (at the longest wavelengths) as well as via the AITG mechanism (at the shortest wavelengths) [Zonca etal. POP 1999]. Confirmed by observations on DIII-D [Nazikian etal. PRL 2006]. GAM excitation: n = m = 0 no linear excitation mechanism by spatial nonuniformity. Only instability mechanism is via velocity space: e.g., intense high-speed drifting beam such that F b / v > 0 at v qv ti /p; p =positive integers.

17 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 16 GAM: eigenmode vs. initial value problem Generally: look at the initial value problem solution of a driven nonlinear system: mode structures are determined by competition between linear and nonlinear dispersion. Nonlinear excitation of GAM favors short wavelengths (later): KGAM is preferentially excited by plasma turbulence and singular MHD structures. When the GAM continuum has a local extremum an eigenmode solution (cavity mode) is also possible when mode drive is provided by, e.g. anisotropic fast ions (JET)

Scott 2005,NJP 7, 92; V. Naulin, et al. 2005, PoP 12, ) Recent observations on DIII-D confirm these predictions (R. Nazikian, et al. 06, PRL 96, )

Zonca, L. Chen, et al. 96, PPCF 38, 2011;... 99, PoP 6, 1917): by energetic ions at long wavelength: finite Beta AE (BAE)/EPM by thermal ions at short wavelength: Alfvén ITG Magnetic flutter: may be relevant for electron transport (B.D.

Nazikian, et al. 06, PRL 96, ) Theory describes well the nonlinear excitation of BAE modes in FTU by magnetic islands (S.V. Annibaldi et al. 07, PPCF 49, 475), when FLR/FOW effects are included (F. Zonca, et al. 98, PPCF 40, 2009).

26 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 20 Generalized fishbone-like dispersion relation In general, it was demonstrated [Chen, POP 94] that the mode dispersion relation can be always written in the form of a fishbone-like dispersion relation iλ + δw f + δw k = 0, where δw f and δw k play the role of fluid (core plasma) and kinetic (fast ion) contribution to the potential energy, while Λ represents a generalized inertia term. The generalized fishbone-like dispersion relation can be derived by asymptotic matching the regular (ideal MHD) mode structure with the general (known) form of the SA wave field in the singular (inertial) region, as the spatial location of the shear Alfvén resonance, ω 2 = k 2 v2 A, is approached. Examples are : Λ 2 = ω(ω ω pi )/ω 2 A for k qr 0 1 (KBM) and Λ 2 = (ω 2 l ω 2 )/(ω 2 u ω 2 ) for k qr 0 1/2, with ω l and ω u the lower and upper accumulation points of the shear Alfvén continuous spectrum toroidal gap (TAE). δw f is generally real, whereas δw k is characterized by complex values, the real part accounting for non-resonant and the imaginary part for resonant wave particle interactions with energetic ions.
27 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 21 The fishbone-like dispersion relation demonstrates the existence of two types of modes: a discrete gap mode, or Alfvén Eigenmode (AE), for IReΛ 2 < 0; an Energetic Particle continuum Mode (EPM) [Chen POP 94] for IReΛ 2 > 0. For AE, the non-resonant fast ion response provides a real frequency shift, i.e. it removes the degeneracy with the continuum accumulation point, while the resonant wave-particle interaction gives the mode drive. Causality condition imposes δw f + IReδW k > 0 when AE frequency is above the continuum accumulation point: inertia in excess w.r.t. field line bending δw f + IReδW k < 0 when AE frequency is below the continuum accumulation point: inertia in lower than field line bending For EPM, ω is set by the relevant energetic ion characteristic frequency and mode excitation requires the drive exceeding a threshold due to continuum damping. However, the non-resonant fast ion response is crucially important as well, since it provides the compression effect that is necessary for balancing the positive MHD potential energy of the wave.
28 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 22 Fishbone modes: a celebrated example of EPM A celebrated example of EPM is the fishbone instability [Chen etal PRL 84; Coppi etal PRL 86], where i s [( R 2 0/v 2 A) ω (ω ω pi ) (1 + ) ] 1/2 = δ Ŵ f + δŵk, ω pi is the core ion diamagnetic frequency and q 2 is the enhancement of plasma inertia due to geodesic curvature [Glasser etal PF 75; Graves etal PPCF 00]. q 2 inertia enhancement is not the classic GGJ factor obtained in MHD [Glasser etal PF 75] and is mainly determined by trapped particle dynamics [Graves etal PPCF 00]. Wave-particle resonances with trapped particles can be crucial for determining the kink/fishbone stability in burning plasmas [Hu etal POP 06] Using a generalized expression of the inertia term Λ(ω) one readily demonstrates the existence of a high-frequency kink-fishbone branch at the frequencies of the Geodesic Acoustic Mode (GAM) [Zonca etal PPCF 07]. (ω ω pi, ω ti ) Λ 2 = 1 ω 2 A [ ω 2 ( T e T i ) q 2 ω 2 ti ] + i πq 2 e ω2 /ω2ti ω2 ωa 2 ( ωti ω ω ) ( Ti ω 2 ω ti ωti 2 + T ) 2 e. T i

30 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 23 Zonal Flows and Zonal Structures Very disparate space-time scales of AE/EPM, MHD modes and plasma turbulence: complex self-organized behaviors of burning plasmas will be likely dominated by their nonlinear interplay via zonal flows and fields Crucial role of toroidal geometry for Alfvénic fluctuations: fundamental importance of magnetic curvature couplings in both linear and nonlinear dynamics (B.D. Scott 2005,NJP 7, 92; V. Naulin, et al. 2005, PoP 12, ) Long time scale behaviors of zonal structures are important for the overall burning plasma performance: generators of nonlinear equilibria
31 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 24 Long time scale behaviors Depending on proximity to marginal stability, AE and EPM nonlinear evolutions can be predominantly affected by spontaneous generation of zonal flows and fields (L. Chen, et al. 2001, NF 41, 747; P.N. Guzdar, et al. 2001, PRL 87, ) radial modulations in the fast ion profiles (F. Zonca, et al. 2000, Theory of Fusion Plasmas, 17) EPM NL dynamics (F. Zonca, et al. 2000, Theory of Fusion Plasmas, 17) AITG and strongly driven MHD modes behave similarly

Scott 2005,NJP 7, 92; V. Naulin, et al. 2005, PoP 12, ) Long time scale behaviors of zonal structures are important for the overall burning plasma performance: generators of nonlinear equilibria The corresponding stability determines the dynamics underlying the dissipation of zonal structures in collision-less plasmas and the nonlinear up-shift of thresholds for turbulent transport (L. Chen, et al. 2006) Impact on burning plasma performance
33 ENEA Structures of the low frequency Alfvén continuous spectrum 25 Discussions Burning plasmas are complex self-organized systems, whose investigation requires a conceptual step in the analysis of magnetically confined plasmas. Integrated numerical simulations are crucial to investigate these new physics; while fundamental theories provide the conceptual framework and the necessary insights. Verification against experimental observations in present day machines is a necessary step for the validation of physical models and numerical codes for reliable extrapolations to burning plasmas. Lack of understanding of some complex burning plasma behaviors can be likely filled in by increasingly complicated and more realistic modeling of plasma conditions as computing performances improve. However, some other unexplained behaviors may be just indications of fundamental conceptual problems: mutual positive feedbacks between theory, simulation and experiment will be necessary. Burning plasma physics is an exciting and challenging field: many examples of fundamental problems with broader applications and implications.
