Magnetic fluctuation induced transport and edge dynamo measurements in the MST reversed-field pinch

  • 1. Wisconsin Univ., Madison, WI (United States). Dept. of Physics

Description

Probe measurements in MST indicate that RFP particle and energy loss is governed by magnetic fluctuations inside r/a = 0.8, with energy carried out connectively by superthermal electrons. The radial loss rate is lower than the Rechester-Rosenbluth level, presumably because of the establishment of a restraining ambipolar potential. Several aspects of these measurements contradict the kinetic dynamo theory, while the MHD dynamo EMF is measured to be large enough to drive the edge current carried-by these superthermal electrons.
