Abstract

The spatial structure of toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes and reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes in DIII-D is obtained from electron-cyclotron-emission measurements. Peak measured temperature perturbations are of similar magnitude for both toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes and reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes and found to be δTe/Te 0.5%. Simultaneous measurements of density fluctuations using beam-emission spectroscopy indicate δne/ne 0.25%. Predictions of the measured temperature and density perturbation profiles as well as δTe/δne from the ideal magnetohydrodynamic code NOVA are in close agreement with experiment.
