Energetic Particle-driven GAM (EGAM)
• Energetic particle-driven GAM-like modes have been observed in tokamaks and stellarators (JET, DIII-D, LHD etc).
• The first observation came from JET where an n=0 mode was excited by the fast ICRF tail ions. The mode was interpreted as a MHD GAM eigenmode with frequency above the maximum of GAM continuum.
(C. J. Boswell et al., Phys. Lett. A 358, 154 (2006) H. L. Berk et al., Nucl. Fusion 46, S888 (2006).)
• Recent DIII-D results showed count-injected beam ions can excite a n=0 GAM-like global mode. The mode frequency is well inside the GAM continuum. (R. Nazikian et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101,185001 (2008).)
• Analytic theory showed existence of EGAM with global radial mode structure determined by energetic particle’s finite orbit width effects. (G.Y. Fu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101,185002 (2008))

Instability Mechanism of EGAM
• The GAM is usually stable due to n=0 (i.e., no universal drive due to radial gradient). Thus it is typically driven nonlinearly by micro-turbulence.
• However, energetic particles can provide instability drive via velocity space gradient for inverted distribution function ( inverse Landau damping for dF/dE >0). In this way, the energetic particle-driven GAM is similar to the bump-on-tail instability.
• dF/dE >0 is possible for NBI beam ions and ICRF tail ions due to bump-on-tail distribution.
• The wave particle resonance (ωGAM ~ ωbh) is possible for large value of safety factor (vh ~ qvt)

Interferometer
• n=0 GAM continuum ω ≈ 2Cs/R
• ideal GAM can only exist above the continuum - no NOVA solution
• Mode frequencies well below peak in the continuum - not the ideal GAM
• Mode structure is global, not the local kinetic GAM

This Work
• Consider nonlinear generation of the second harmonic in density fluctuation due to beam-driven GAM;
• Motivated by recent DIII-D data which show that there is a large 2nd harmonic in the measured density fluctuation associated with the beam-driven GAM (R. Nazikian, 2009).

• Zero frequency and second harmonic have equal amplitude;
• Second order perturbation breaks up-down asymmetry; • Second order density perturbation is negative on low
field side; • Near mid-plane, ρ2 is comparable to ρ1 since ρ1 ~sinθ

Summary: Nonlinear theory of generation of second harmonic
• Fluid Model: – GAM self-interaction cannot generate a second harmonic in the
radial electric field; – A second harmonic of density fluctuation is generated by
convective nonlinearity. A DC component is also present. – The density perturbation is negative near the mid-plane for
strong instability. – These results are consistent with DIII-D experiments.
• Energetic Particle Effects: – Energetic particle effects can generate a second harmonic in
radial electric field; – The energetic particle-induced second harmonic of the density
perturbation scales as sinθ. The EP contribution is small near the mid-plane.
