While many features of the observations are found to be in excellent agreement with simulations using an ideal MHD code (NOVA), other characteristics distinctly reveal the influence of fast ions on the mode structures. These features are found to be well described by the nonperturbative hybrid MHD-gyrofluid model TAEFL. }, year = {2011}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {106}, number = {7}, pages = {075003}, month = {Feb}, isbn = {0031-9007}, url = {http://oasis.postech.ac.kr/bitstream/2014.oak/12485/1/OAIR003284.pdf}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.075003}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 721XYTimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 25}, language = {English}, }
