Abstract: Energetic particles (EPs) and their related physics are crucial for burning plasmas in magnetically confined fusion devices as EPs contribute significantly to the total power density. In particular, symmetry breaking collective modes excited by EPs, such as shear Alfven wave (SAW) instabilities, could have deleterious effects on EPs and thermal plasma confinement.
