Description

The observation of a key feature of intermittency in the tokamak edge turbulence is reported. The probability distribution functions of broadband plasma density and potential fluctuations in an ohmically heated tokamak plasma are measured and shown to be non-Gaussian. The intermittency is observed on scales that are large compared to the dissipation scale and is found to evolve during the flat-top current phase of the discharge. (author). 9 refs, 3 figs
