such a trapped electron mode to arise. In addition equilibrium sheared flows are experimentally present but have not been included in this work. These sheared flows can modify the properties of linear instabilities and nonlinear turbulent struc- tures. Future work will also include and quantify the effects of equilibrium sheared flows.

The authors would like to thank the TAE team at TAE Technologies, Inc., for equilibrium data as well as ongoing insights and collaboration in the development of these simula- tions. Portions of this work were carried out at University of California, Irvine with the support of the Norman Rostoker Fellowship and a TAE Grant No. TAE-200441. Simulations used the resources of DOE Office of Science User Facili- ties: National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (DOE Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231) and Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experi- ment (INCITE) program at Argonne Leadership Computing Facility at Argonne National Laboratory (DOE Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357).
