Description

Detailed studies of coherent fluctuations in several configurations of SHEILA support the view that these are essentially electrostatic collisional drift waves propagating so that the ratio of toroidal to poloidal mode numbers closely matches the rotational transform. The observations are consistent with a linear dispersion theory based on a cylindrical approximation to the helical plasma column in straight-field coordinates. (author). 10 figs
