Investigation of tur bulence in magnetized tor oidal plasma by cor r elative enhanced scatter ing diagnostics

Abstract

The microwave enhanced scattering (ES) schemes in various modifications were developed and tested for investigation of turbulence and transport in magnetized laboratory plasma and tokamaks. The efficiency of ES methods to study internal small-scale fluctuations or waves in nonuniform magnetized plasma was confirmed experimentally for wide spectra of plasma parameters Exper imental r esults The experiments have been performed in ToriX toroidal plasma device (major radius R 0 = 0.61 m, minor radius a = 0.1 m). A plasma with typical parameters (n e = 5 × 10 10 cm -3 , T e = 1.5 3 eV) and nonuniform distributions of density and electron temperature was created by a hot filament discharge at argon pressure 7.5 × 10 -4 Torr and magnetic field ~ 0.3 T. Radial distribution of electron temperature obtained by Langmuir probe measurements is shown i
