Phase space structures can arise for other waves and in non-tokamak experiments. We are contining to analyze frequency bifurcations and sweeping phenomena that we expect to be generated by kinetically driven instabilities. We are interested in this phenomena in fusion laboratory experiments, space phenomena and in particle accelerators. Further, we intend to extend the investigation to determine how frequency sweeping may be important in more general turbulence theory. This is an area where we have been quite active in, and where there are many questions still to be answered.
Many question still remain to be addressed in the research area described above.
