Abstract: In DIII-D hybrid discharges, the intense Alfven eigenmode (AE) activity driven by Neutral Beam Injection that is typically observed can be suppressed and replaced by fishbone modes when Electron Cyclotron Current Drive (ECCD) is centrally… read more here.

Abstract: Alfven Eigenmodes are destabilized at the DIII-D pedestal during transient beta drops in high poloidal beta discharges with internal transport barriers (ITBs), driven by n=1 external kink modes, leading to energetic particle losses. There are… read more here.
