Abstract Novel internal measurements and analysis of ion cyclotron frequency range fast-ion driven modes in DIII-D are presented. Observations, including internal density fluctuation (ñ) measurements obtained via Doppler Backscattering, are presented for modes at low harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency localized in the edge. The measurements indicate that these waves, identified as coherent Ion Cyclotron Emission (ICE), have high wave number, _⊥ρ_fast ≳ 1, consistent with the cyclotron harmonic wave branch of the magnetoacoustic cyclotron instability (MCI), or electrostatic instability mechanisms. Measurements show extended spatial structure (at least ~ 1/6 the minor radius). These edge ICE modes undergo amplitude modulation correlated with edge localized modes (ELM) that is qualitatively consistent with expectations for ELM-induced fast-ion transport.

Lighthill’s theorem on magnetohydrodynamic wave propagation from a localized source gives an asymptotic expression for the wave amplitude at large distance from the source and this theorem is applied to a laboratory plasma. Attention is focused mainly on conditions where the Alfven speed is large compared with the sound speed and where the wave frequency is of the same order as the ion cyclotron frequency. These conditions are also typical of certain natural plasmas. The manner in which the wave amplitude depends on the direction of propagation and on the ratio of the wave frequency to the ion cyclotron frequency is examined and illustrated by graphs which also cover a range of source sizes. An extension is made into a two-fluid theory such that electron inertia and electron source terms can be included and the effect of finite electrical conductivity is considered.
