  We study the turbulent transport of an ion cyclotron resonance heated (ICRH),
MeV range minority ion species in tokamak plasmas. Such highly energetic
minorities, which can be produced in the three ion minority heating scheme [Ye.
O. Kazakov et al. (2015) Nucl. Fusion 55, 032001], have been proposed to be
used to experimentally study the confinement properties of fast ions without
the generation of fusion alphas. We compare the turbulent transport properties
of ICRH ions with that of fusion born alpha particles. Our theoretical
predictions indicate that care must be taken when conclusions are drawn from
experimental results: While the effect of turbulence on these particles is
similar in terms of transport coefficients, differences in their distribution
functions - ultimately their generation processes - make the resulting
turbulent fluxes different.
