Radiative damping of toroidal Alfvén eigenmode in low-shear plasmas

Instabilities of Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) are of significant concern because they can enhance the cross-field transport of fusion-born alpha particles beyond the neoclassical level in magnetic fusion plasmas. The threshold value of alpha-particle pressure for exciting AEs depends critically on the da...
