Understanding of the density profile shape, electron heat transport and internal transport barriers observed in ASDEX Upgrade

Description

In this paper several transport phenomena are described and explained through the properties of micro-instabilities. Linear and quasi-linear theory are used, which give a reasonable qualitative description of the relatively weak turbulent state of the plasma core. The paper deals with the following phenomena: density peaking, electron heat transport, density pump-out, reactor density profiles, stabilisation of the ion temperature gradient mode in transport barriers.
