The goal of this project is to develop new Lie-transform methods for the purpose of deriving advanced reduced plasma models (including hybrid kinetic-MHD models) used to investigate energetic-particle effects in magnetized fusion plasmas. Two classes of energetic particles are considered: fusion products and energetic (e.g., runaway) electrons, which have their respective importance in determining the path of a hightemperature magnetized plasma toward the burning-plasma state.
