In this experiment we plan to study the excitation of ZF oscillations by energetic particles in TJ-II.

We will generate fast ions by means of the diagnostic neutral beam injector and try to measure oscillations in the zonal potential, if we are able to generate them. If so, we will characterize their spectrum and study the dependency with parameters: beam intensity, beam energy, and ion and electron temperatures.
We will work in NBI plasmas and will look for LFO by means of the Doppler reflectometry system and the dual HIBP. We will change the energy and intensity of the neutral beam in order to identify changes in the LFO, that can be reproduced in GK simulations, if these oscillations are generated.
 
As an alternative we could work in ECRH heated plasmas and generate fast ions by means of the diagnostic neutral beam injector (DNBI) and try to measure oscillations in the zonal potential, if we are able to generate them. If so, we will characterize their spectrum and study the dependency with parameters: beam intensity, beam energy, and ion and electron temperatures.


The experimental results will be compared to dedicated gyrokinetic simulations.
