Alfvén Eigenmodes-driven fast-ion flows have been measured for the first time at the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak using an imaging neutral particle analyzer. The flow is such that particles are expelled from the mode location, losing energy as they move outwards. This flow aligns well with the projection of the lines of constant magnetic moment and...

Fast-α losses in future fusion power plants are expected to follow the co- and counter-current directions due to the isotropy of the fusion reaction. At the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak, the co-current direction (achieved with positive plasma current and negative toroidal magnetic field) has been extensively studied thanks to an array of five fast-ion...
