Author(s): Ruirui Ma, Pengfei Liu, Liu Chen, Fulvio Zonca, and Zhiyong Qiu Understanding nonlinear saturation of reversed-shear Alfvén eigenmodes (RSAEs) in tokamaks is crucial for high-performance burning plasmas. Employing both nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations and theoretical analyses, we have discovered the novel result that, with energetic particle dynamics kept linea… [Phys. Rev.
