abstract = {The theory of Alfvén resonance effects on the
wave modes of a tokamak is extended beyond the
incompressible magnetohydrodynamic model to include
finite-(ω/Ω<sub><i>i</i></sub> )
effects and compressibility. The discrete spectrum of
compressional Alfvén waves consists of a
sequence of frequencies with finite damping decrements
resulting from the Alfvén resonance. The
finite-frequency effects can cause the damping to
almost vanish. This permits Alfvén resonance
heating via high-<i>Q</i> eigenmodes in large
tokamaks.},
oabstract = {The theory of Alfvén resonance heating of
tokamaks is extended beyond the incompressible MHD
model to include
finite-(ω/Ω<sub><i>i</i></sub> )
effects, which lead to off-diagonal terms in the
conductivity tensor, and compressibility, which
permits the fast Alfvén mode. The finite
frequency effects can greatly change the dissipation
resulting from the shear Alfvén resonance.
With appropriate choice of parameters, the dissipation
can vanish allowing high-<i>Q</i> toroidal eigenmodes
in large tokamaks such as PLT.}
