Description of the activity
MHD activity produced by Alfvén Eigenmodes (AEs) is routinely observed in NBI-heated TJ-II plasmas [1]. The results provided by recently installed sets of helical magnetic coils complement the previous experimental data and, together with advanced analysis tools like the 3D Lomb periodogram [2] allows the determination of the AEs spatial periodicity with an accuracy non reachable so far.
With this goal in mind we propose to study the alfvénic activity produced by both co and counter NBI injectors separately, as well as the one produced by simultaneous, balanced heating with both injectors (compensated plasma current). We plan to perform this study in at least two magnetic configurations, 100_44_64 (edge_iota 1.65) and 100_60_68 (1.77), looking for the expected influence of the configuration on the shear Alfvén spectrum.
