Description

Electrostatic and magnetic fluctuations and relevant transport are intensively investigated in the edge plasma region of TPE-1RM20. Low frequency (f < 100 kHz) electrostatic fluctuations with low poloidal and toroidal mode numbers play a significant role in particle transport. They show stronger coherence with the m = 0 mode than with the m = 1 tearing mode type magnetic fluctuations. This fact suggests that particle transport is governed by edge localized electromagnetic turbulence. Very strong soft X ray emission and an improvement of the confinement properties have been observed in the high pinch parameter region (∼ 1.8-2.0), in accordance with a reduction of the amplitude of the internally resonant m = 1 modes.
