Alfvén eigenmode-driven zonal modes saturate and heat thermal ions by cross-scale interactions

In scenarios where a sustained energetic particle source strongly drives toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes (TAE), and phase-space transport is insufficient to saturate TAE, this novel theory of TAE-zonal mode (ZM)-turbulence—self-regulated by cross-scale interactions (including collisionless ZF damping) –...
