Abstract
Wave-particle interactions can produce non-Maxwellian momentum distribution functions, which modify the propagation and absorption of the wave. Kinetic analysis including deformation of the momentum distribution function is required for quantitative wave heating analysis. The deformation strongly depends on the loss mechanism and radial transport of energetic ions. In our previous work, we studied time evolution of the momentum distribution function by local ICRF heating analysis. In the present analysis, we describe global analyses of multi-species heating including loss mechanisms and radial transport.
