Abstract
Toroidal Alfven eigenmodes are shown to be capable of inducing ripple trapping of high-energy particles in tokamaks, causing intense localiz ed particle loss. The effect has been observed in TFTR [R. Hawryluk, P lasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 33, 1509 (1991)]. (C) 1995 American Inst itute of Physics.
