Abstract
The trapped electron collisional damping of global toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes (TAE-modes) is investigated. The collisions of trapped electrons with passing ones and ions lead to the essentially enhanced damping rate of TAE-modes in comparison with usually assumed damping due to the magnetic curvature drift of the electrons.
