The frequency is swept downward and upward sequentially via the time variation in the maximum of q. The eigenmodes calculated by ideal MHD theory are consistent with the experimental data. The frequency sweeping is mainly determined by the effects of energetic ions and the bulk pressure gradient. Coupling of reversed-shear Alfv?n eigenmodes with energetic ion driven geodesic acoustic modes generates a multitude of frequency-sweeping modes.}, title = {Observation of Reversed-Shear Alfve ́n Eigenmodes Excited by Energetic Ions in a Helical Plasma}, volume = {Vol.105}, year = {2010} }
