eng Abstract:
Having both MHD and kinetic character plasma Alfven eigenmodes are signicant not only on the eld basic plasma research, but also on the eld of magnetic connement fusion. An introduction to basic physical principles of Alfven eigenmodes under MHD approximation is provided. Presented results of recent experiments on COMPASS suggest occurrence of toroidal Alfven eigenmodes in this tokamak, which is further supported by preliminary linear MHD code simulations, althought more studies will have to be conducted in the future to further investigate presented modes therein.
