Recent energetic particle physics research in JT-60U and JFT-2M is reported. Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) are investigated in reversed-shear (RS) plasmas in JT-60U where frequency sweeping (FS) modes are observed to follow the q -profile evolution. The RS-induced AE model can explain the FS of the modes within the context of an evolving q -profile. Enhanced energetic ion transport is also investigated with the appearance of modes in the toroidicity-induced AE range of frequency in JT-60U using a multi-channel neutron profile monitor and in JFT-2M using a lost ion probe. Additionally, the ripple loss in the complex toroidal field ripple due to ferritic steel inserts in JFT-2M is shown and compared with model analysis. The simulation code developed to predict ripple loss in JFT-2M will be of use in estimating the heat flux in the complex ripple field of a future device such as ITER.
