Description

This document deals with the measurement of core plasma turbulence in TEXT-U tokamak. Fast electrons are known to be sensitive to magnetic turbulence, and a technique based on 3-D kinetic simulations constrained by the measurement of central fast electron distribution was therefore used to determine the turbulence level in the plasma core. The spectra observed thanks to a vertical ECE shows the presence of magnetic turbulence. (TEC). 7 refs., 4 figs
