| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The energetic particle driven geodesic acoustic mode (EGAM) strongly affects the plasma heating efficiency by transferring energy from energetic particles to bulk plasma. The principal investigator investigated this phenomenon and obtained good achievements in the following 3 aspects. (1) For the first time, the anomalous bulk ion heating during EGAM activity is reproduced in simulation, and the mechanism is clarified with solid evidence. It is found that sideband resonance is dominant during the energy transfer from EGAM to the bulk ions, and the transit frequencies of resonant bulk ions are one-half of the EGAM frequency. (2) For the first time, the bulk ion heating efficiency of EGAM channeling is systematically investigated. These investigations are helpful for improving heating efficiency in the experiment. (3) The principal investigator extended his research field and investigated energetic particle driven instabilities in a quasi-axisymmetric stellarator named CFQS.
