Large‐amplitude rotating magnetohydrodynamic modes are observed to induce significant high‐energy beam particle loss during high‐power perpendicular netural beam injection on the poloidal divertor experiment (PDX). A Hamiltonian formalism for drift orbit trajectories in the presence of such modes is used to study induced particle loss analytically and numerically. Results are in good agreement with experiment.
