Eigenmodes vs. Resonant Modes
2 Fundamental difference in mode dynamics and particle transports is to beattributed to mode excitation and particle phase space motion
2 Use Secular Perturbation Theory in nonlinear Hamiltonian dynamics . . .
2 Extended Phase Space to treat explicit time dependencies: 2N ⇒ (2N +2)-dim.; for low frequency modes (ω ¿ ωci) the resulting 8-dim phase spacereduces (µ and H ≡ H(µ, Pφ, J‖)−H are conserved) to 6-dim phase space,i.e. the general problem is equivalent to an autonomous Hamiltonian with3 degrees of freedom
2 Use Secular Perturbation Theory is a method for locally removing a singleresonance: what happens in the multiple resonance case ???

2 Adiabatic (TAE) case: quasilinear flattening is dominant and, in the absenceof externally imposed adiabatic frequency chirping (e.g., via equilibriumchanges), saturation is either at ωB ≈ γL or it occurs via other mode-mode coupling mechanisms
2 Fast (EPM) case: there no time for the distribution to flatten and the modeshould freely grow ⇒ particle convection/mode particle pumping ???Saturation should occur at ωB ≈ (ωγL)1/2.

(Weak) Modes in the GAP: nonlinear
• NL Saturation via mode-mode coupling (also Thyagaraja et al., Proc. EPS-97, vol 1, p 277, 1997):
– Saturation via “ion Compton scattering” at δBr/B ≈ ε2(γL/ω)1/2
(Hahm and Chen, PRL 74, 266, (1995)
– Saturation via δE∗ × δB at δBr/B ≈ ε5/2/nq (Zonca et al., PRL 74,698, (1995))
– Saturation via δn/n at δBr/B ≈ ε3/2β1/2 (Chen et al., PPCF 40, 1823,(1998))
• NL Saturation via phase-space nonlinearities (wave-particle trapping):
– Steady-state: (δBr/B)1/2 ≈ ωB ≈ γL(νeff/γd) for γd ¿ νeff ∼ν(ω/ωb)

• TAE pulsations: (δBr/B)1/2 ≈ ωB ≈ γL for γd À νeff0 ∼ ν(ω/γL)2 (Berket al, PRL 68, 3563, (1992))
• Both steady-state and TAE pulsations yield negligible losses unless phase-space stochasticity is reached, possibly via domino effect ( Berk et al, Nuc.Fus. 35, 1661, (1995); Heeter et al,PRL 85, 3177 (2000).)
• In the case of a single mode, spontaneous formation near threshold of hole-clump pair in phase space (Berk et al., Phys. Lett. A, 234, 213, (1997);Phys. Plasmas 6, 3102 (1999).) may yield to frequency chirping and/orpitchfork splitting of mode-frequency
• Theory seems to explain pitchfork splitting of TAE lines observed in JET(Fasoli, IAEA-TCM-97); however, δω ∼ γL(γd/γL)1/2(γL/νeff )
3/2; thus,large chirping requires very small νeff .

Nonlinear dynamics issues
2 Role of nonlinear dynamics near marginal stability:
• Explosive instabilities: (Berk et al., Phys. Plasmas 6, 3102 (1999).)
• Phase space stochastization: (Heeter et al,PRL 85, 3177 (2000).)
2 Alfven Eigenmodes are very inefficient in tapping plasma expansion freeenergy (fast particle kinetic energy):
• Fraction ∆W/W ∝ δB2/B2 ∝ (γ/ω)4: (H.L. Berk and B.N. Breiz-man, Comm. PPCF 17 145 (1996).)
• Free energy build up, except in a few selected regions of phase space(near resonances). Complex behaviors in phase space.

2 x0 is the radial position of the max EPM amplitude and W0 indicating thetypical EPM radial width in the NL regime

Conclusions• Linear Theory: sound and well understood. However, most codes still do notinclude nonperturbative particle dynamics
• Nonlinear Theory: Partially understood
• Theory of Non-linear phase space dynamics (single mode) seems to explaina number of experimentally observed phenomena: saturation levels, pitch-fork splitting of spectral lines, chirping . . . (possibly)
• NL GK-MHD simulations of EPM’s indicate saturation via source redistri-bution rather than ωb ≈ γL; fast ion radial convection
• What happens in the multiple (m,n) case??? and for a strong source???
• Chirping is a very complex phenomenon, observed in most tokamaks withintense hot particle tails: due to equilibrium variations??? and/or Nonlineardynamics???

• Prediction and interpretation of particle losses is still lacking: domino ef-fect (phase space stochasticity) . . . and/or mode-particle pumping (particleconvection)???
• Nonlinear Hamiltonian Dynamics: Strong mathematical methods exist . . . butwhat about solving the self-consistent problem???
• Experimental investigations: Understanding local transport , using . . . highpower density sources seems the key for a crucial progress and physics insights(. . . similar to thermal plasma transport problem . . . )
