摘要
The measured spectra of fast particle driven Alfven eigenmodes in the JET tokamak plasma are interpreted on the basis of a nonlinear model of near-threshold kinetic instabilities. The observed mode splitting is a manifestation of the general nonlinear phenomena due to the combination of resonant wave-particle interaction and collisionlike relaxation of the resonant particles. The instability growth rate and the effective collision frequency of the resonant particles are determined.
