Description

Magnetic pickup loops inserted into the Macrotor tokamak have shown a broad spectrum of oscillation in B/sub r/ and B/sub p/ up to f approx. = 100 kHz. The high-frequency B/sub r/ have short radial and poloidal correlation lengths L < 5 cm, in contrast with the usual Mirnov oscillations with f approx. = 7 kHz and L >> 5 cm. The observed magnitude summationvertical-barB/sub r/vertical-bar/B/sub T/ > 10-5, where the summation extends over all f > 30 kHz, is in the range in which such radial magnetic perturbations may be contributing to anomalous electron energy transport
