Title: Overview of nonlinear theory of kinetically driven instabilities

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/674814· OSTI ID:674814

An overview is presented of the theory for the nonlinear behavior of instabilities driven by the resonant wave particle interaction. The approach should be applicable to a wide variety of kinetic systems in magnetic fusion devices and accelerators. Here the authors emphasize application to Alfven were driven instability, and the principles of the theory are used to interpret experimental data.
