We observed a high-frequency mode using a reflectometer and an interferometer in a D-T plasma heated with low power neutral beam injection, \n \n \n \n P<\/mml:mi>\n \n N<\/mml:mi>\n B<\/mml:mi>\n I<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n =<\/mml:mo>\n 11.6<\/mml:mn>\n \n MW<\/mml:mtext>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n \n <\/jats:inline-formula>. This mode was observed at a frequency \n \n \n f<\/mml:mi>\n =<\/mml:mo>\n 156<\/mml:mn>\n \n kHz<\/mml:mtext>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n \n <\/jats:inline-formula> and was located at major radii \n \n \n \n 3.1<\/mml:mn>\n \u2a7d<\/mml:mo>\n R<\/mml:mi>\n (<\/mml:mo>\n m<\/mml:mtext>\n )<\/mml:mo>\n \u2a7d<\/mml:mo>\n 3.3<\/mml:mn>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n \n <\/jats:inline-formula>. The observed mode was identified as a toroidal Alfv\u00e9n eigenmode (TAE) using the linear MHD code, MISHKA. Beam ions and fusion-born alpha particles were modelled using the full orbit particle tracking code LOCUST, which produces smooth distribution functions suitable for stability calculations without analytical fits or the use of moments. We calculated the stability of the 21 candidate modes using the HALO code. These calculations revealed that beam ions can drive TAEs with toroidal mode numbers \n \n \n n<\/mml:mi>\n \u2a7e<\/mml:mo>\n 8<\/mml:mn>\n <\/mml:math>\n \n <\/jats:inline-formula> with linear growth rates \n \n \n \n \u03b3<\/mml:mi>\n b<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:msub>\n \n \/<\/mml:mo>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \u03c9<\/mml:mi>\n \u223c<\/mml:mo>\n 1<\/mml:mn>\n %<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:math>\n \n <\/jats:inline-formula>, while TAEs with n<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u20098 are damped by the beam ion population.

Non-ideal effects were calculated using complex resistivity in the CASTOR code, leading to an assessment of radiative, collisional, and continuum damping for all 21 candidate modes. Ion Landau damping was modelled using Maxwellian distribution functions for bulk D and T ions in HALO. Radiative damping, the dominant bulk damping mechanism, suppresses modes with high toroidal mode numbers. Comparing the drive from energetic particles with damping from thermal particles, we find all but one of the candidate modes are damped.
