Abstract
A qualitative model is given to describe the redistribution of ICRF he ated minority ions at sawtooth crashes in tokamak plasmas. A crucial f eature of the model is that it takes into account profile broadening e ffects due to the finite width of the ICRF heated particle orbits. Pre dictions of the model are compared and found to be in agreement with n umerical simulations as well as with experimental results from JET.
