While single toroidal Alfven eigenmodes (TAE) and Alfven cascades (AC) eject resonant fast ions in a convective process, an overlapping of AC and TAE spatial structures leads to a large fast-ion diffusion and loss. Diffusive fast-ion losses have been observed with a single TAE above a certain threshold in the fluctuation amplitude.}, year = {2010}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {104}, number = {18}, pages = {4}, month = {May}, isbn = {0031-9007}, url = {://000277417500030 }, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 592YITimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 36}, language = {English}, }
