The SLIP gave simultaneously the energy E and the pitch angle χ = arccos(υ///υ) distribution of the lost fast ions. The loss fluxes were investigated for three typical magnetic configurations of Rax_vac = 3.60 m, 3.75 m, and 3.90 m, where Rax_vac is the magnetic axis position of the vacuum field. Dominant losses induced by TAEs in these three configurations were observed in the E/χ regions of 50∼190 keV/40°, 40∼170 keV/25°, and 30∼190 keV/30°, respectively. Lost-ion fluxes induced by TAEs depend clearly on the amplitude of TAE magnetic fluctuations, Rax_vac and the toroidal field strength Bt. The increment of the loss fluxes has the dependence of (bTAE/Bt)s. The power s increases from s = 1 to 3 with the increase of the magnetic axis position in finite beta plasmas.}, title = {Magnetic Configuration Effects on Fast Ion Losses Induced by Fast Ion Driven Toroidal Alfvén Eigenmodes in the Large Helical Device}, volume = {14}, year = {2012} }
