The excitation of AEs sensitively depends on the parameter space defined by the averaged beam beta and the velocity ratio V6nlV6 (V611 : injected beam ion velocity, Va: Alfv6n velocity). In LHD, these two relevant parameters are widely scanned without suffering from current disruptions. So far, toroidicity induced AE (TAE), global AE (GAE) and energetic particle mode (EPM) or resonant TAE (R-TAE) were identified during tangential neutral beam injection (NBI) in CHS and LHD. Moreover, a new coherent mode with the frequency by about 8 times higher than the TAE frequency was observed in NBI heated plasmas of LHD at low magnetic field (<0.6T). This mode may be induced by helical field components of the confinement field. Nonlinear phenomena of bursting amplitude modulation and fast frequency chirping are clearly seen for TAEs and EPMs in CHS and LHD. EPMs in CHS and bursting TAEs in LHD enhance radial transport of energetic ions in certain plasma conditions.}, title = {Impact of Energetic Ion Driven Global Modes on Toroidal Plasma Confinements}, volume = {Vol.5}, year = {2002} }
