“…Since this is accompanied by a significantly higher plasma stored energy compared with plasmas with same input heating power delivered by NBI only, we suggest that the presence of the large population of fast ions located in a small volume around the plasma core may play some key role in improving the energy confinement. A similar observation was made earlier in connection with experiments at ASDEX Upgrade and JET both in L-mode [34] and H-mode [35,36] with different sources of fast ions such as 3 He ions generated with ICRF minority heating or NBI fast ions. An explanation of the turbulence mitigation observed in those experiments was advanced in a number of papers, where a key contribution of the energetic ions to the mitigation of Ion Temperature Gradient modes by different mechanisms was found through gyrokinetic simulations [37][38][39][40][41].…”

“…The PION approach includes the most important effects of ICRH and the results obtained are robust. PION has been extensively used and benchmarked against JET results [12,13,24,[41][42][43][44][45] and also other fusion devices such as AUG [46][47][48][49], Tore Supra [50,51], DIII-D [52], ITER [53,54] and DEMO [55].…”
