DIII-D experiments at low density (n_{e}∼10^{19} m^{-3}) have directly measured whistler waves in the 100-200 MHz range excited by multi-MeV runaway electrons. Whistler activity is correlated with intensity (hard x-ray emission level), occurs novel discrete frequency bands, and exhibits nonlinear limit-cycle-like behavior. The frequencies scale magnetic field strength electron as expected from dispersion relation. modes are stabilized increasing field, which consistent wave-particle...
Gyrokinetic simulations of the fishbone instability in DIII-D tokamak plasmas find that self-generated zonal flows can dominate nonlinear saturation by preventing coherent structures from persisting or drifting energetic particle phase space when mode frequency down-chirps.
