Abstract

The hybrid scenario is a projection for CFETR operation with high plasma current and density. Therefore, the energetic particles (EPs) generated by fusion reactions can destabilize Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs), which could result in significant EPs loss and redistribution. Both the eigenvalue code NOVA-K and the wrapped local stability code TGLFEP are used to analyze AE stability. The simulation indicates the beta-induced Alfvén eigenmodes with n>5 in the core region are the most unstable. The NOVA-K code is used to benchmark the critical density gradient calculated by TGLFEP. In addition, the EPtran code is employed to predict EP transport induced by unstable AEs and turbulence, which reduce EP density in the core and drive approximately 30% EP transport from the core to the edge, thus the EP density profile flattens and EPs with lower energy deposit near the edge.
