摘要
beta-induced Alfven eigenmodes (e-BAE) and fishbone (e-fishbone) driven by the energetic electrons have been identified on the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak in electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH), low hybrid wave (LHW) together with neutral beam injection plasma and in pure radio frequency heating plasma, respectively. The e-BAE is predominantly located near the pedestal region, and its frequency typically displays a chirping characteristic. The frequency is notably associated with the count of energetic electrons with energy between 30 keV and 80 keV driven by LHW and undergoes three distinct phases. A direct correlation is established between the frequency of e-BAE and the global parameters, including electron temperature, Alfven velocity and beta p . The e-fishbone emerges in the core and becomes noticeable shortly after ECRH initiation, in an electron heated dominant and core confinement enhanced discharge. Experimental analyses suggest that the e-fishbone ties closely with both the population and energy distribution of energetic electrons. These observations can provide valuable insights into the behavior of energetic electrons, which play a crucial role in the formation and sustainability of transport barriers within hybrid plasma, both in the internal and pedestal regions.
