The appearance of low-frequency Magneto-HydroDynamic (MHD) modes (some tens of kilohertz) in electron cyclotron heated plasmas depends on the rotational transform profile and the plasma density. In neutral beam injection plasmas, high-frequency modes (150- to 300-kHz) have been found in plasmas with line densities in the range 0.6 × 10<sup>19</sup> m<sup>-3</sup> to 3 × 10<sup>19</sup> m<sup>-3</sup> and heated with on/off-axis electron cyclotron heating. They are good candidates for global [[Alfvén eigenmodes]] related to the low-order resonance n/m = 3/2. | The appearance of low-frequency Magneto-HydroDynamic (MHD) modes (some tens of kilohertz) in electron cyclotron heated plasmas depends on the rotational transform profile and the plasma density.
