Abstract
Linear and non-linear models for anomalous alpha particle transport due to collective instabilities are reviewed. The linear stability analysis is applied to the comparison of measured and computed Alfvén eigenmodes in tokamaks (`spectroscopy'). Scenarios for non-linear wave evolution and fast ion redistribution are discussed.Keywords
