Fast ions have been found to impact plasma confinement <ref>J. Citrin et al., PRL 111 (2013) 155001</ref>. Understanding the underlying physics is an essential task for future fusion reactors where plasmas will be dominated by fast particle dynamics. In particular, non-linear excitations of zonal structures by fast particle driven modes are predicted to play an important role on the nonlinear dynamics of AEs and related transport <ref> Z Qiu et al., PRL 120 (2018) 135001</ref>. | Fast ions have been found to impact plasma confinement <ref>J.

The goal is to address the following questions: | |||
Relation between fast particle driven modes and zonal structures: | |||
Is there any evidence of Zonal Flows (i.e. electric fields) or / and Zonal Fields (i.e. magnetic fields) driven by fast particles? | |||
If yes, do they play any role on thermal transport Impact? | |||
Non-linear interplay between high (AEs) and low frequency modes: | |||
If yes, do they play any role in the non-linear saturation mechanisms of AEs? | |||
Non-linear coupling between AEs and low frequency zonal flows have been reported in TJ-II using Doppler reflectometry [<ref>T. Estrada et al., NF 55 (2015) 063005</ref>] and HIBP measurements. | |||
