Abstract
Toroidal Alfven eigenmodes and a new class of modes, the Alfven cascades, e xcited by energetic ions are observed in the JET tokamak. Measurements of t hese Alfven instabilities are used to solve the inverse problem of identify ing the plasma parameters using the dependence of the Alfven spectrum on eq uilibrium parameters.
