Fast Ion Profiles in Plasmas With Alfv\'en Instabilities,

Fast-ion redistribution is observed in plasmas with many different types of Alfv\'en eigenmode (AE) activity: toroidicity-induced (TAE), reversed shear (RSAE), elongation induced (EAE), and beta-induced (BAE). AE wave fields calculated by the NOVA code and benchmarked against experimental measurements are used to predict the modification of the fast-ion distribution function. These predictions are compared with profiles measured by the fast-ion $D_\alpha$ diagnostic, as well as fast-ion profiles inferred from the equilibrium. Neutron, neutral particle, and beam-ion loss detector diagnostics are also employed. In cases with strong AE activity, the central fast-ion profile is often flat.
