Energetic Particle Physics

     A new Kinetic/MHD hybrid code HINST has been developed to study the stability of high-n TAE modes in larger plasmas (e.g., relevant to ITER design studies). This code keeps non-perturbatively kinetic effects of energetic particles as well as thermal particles, and includes all relevant physics for the TAE stability problem. To more properly account for the kinetic effects of all particle species, a low frequency kinetic-fluid model [C.Z. Cheng and Jay R. Johnson, J. Geophys. Res., 104, 413, 1999] has been introduced to help improve the capabilities of kinetic-MHD codes such as the NOVA-K, HINST, and MH3D-K codes. It will also aid the analytical understanding of energetic particle dynamics.
