摘要：

During beam injection in the DIII-D tokamak, modes with lower frequencies than expected for toroidicity induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) are often observed. The experimental 'TAE' frequency is often approximate to0.8 of the nominal theoretical frequency of the TAE, f(TAE), while the typical frequency of beta induced Alfven eigenmodes (BAEs) is (0.2-0.4)f(TAE). An analysis is presented of an unstable discharge with a high n stability code, HINST, that includes the effect of energetic ions on mode frequency. The analysis shows that the experimental 'TAE' and 'BAE' could be resonant branches of the TAE and the kinetic ballooning mode, respectively.
