This presentation examines the energetic particle transport induced by saturated kink modes and sawtooth crashes in JET deuterium plasmas. It is known that kink mode-resonant transport and phase-space redistribution from sawtooth crashes can drive strong fast ion transport with dependencies on particle pitch and energy. Measurements with JET's Faraday cup fast ion loss detector array have shown that the internal kink growth phase preceding sawtooth crashes produces substantial fast ion losses. This report will numerically investigate the dominant energetic particle transport mechanism with a detailed examination of the fast ion phase-space dependencies, resonances, orbit topology changes, induced losses, and redistribution associated with the long-lived, resonant, kink mode and non-resonant sawtooth crash. The ORBIT-kick model forms the basis of the transport studies with realistic fast ion distributions produced from TRANSP. A recently created reduced model for sawtooth induced transport is used while the saturated kink modes are modeled with ideal magnetohydrodynamic codes. The simulations were further validated against experiment with a newly developed synthetic Faraday cup fast ion loss detector in addition to scintillator probe and neutron measurements.
