Turbulence in a cusp Q device

  • 1. Danish Atomic Energy Commission, Research Establishment Riso, Roskilde, Denmark

Description

Spectral measurements are reported of plasma turbulence in the Cs plasma of a Q device, modified to a magnetic cusp geometry. The excitation mechanism for the fluctuations appears to be the centrifugal instability discussed by Chen. A transition from an f−5 to an f−3 power spectrum is observed as one moves from the hot plates to the midplane of the cusp.
