Title:

Spectrograph of Electric Field Fluctuation in Toroidal Helical Plasma

Date of publication:

Sep. 2005

Key words:

electric field fluctuation, heavy ion beam probes, geodesic acoustic modes, long-range correlation, radial eigen function

Abstract:

This is a report on fluctuation measurements using twin heavy ion beam probes in CHS. The observation shows that a dozen of coherent modes with intermittent nature coexist in an electron cyclotron heated plasma. The modes are found to have long-distance correlation in toroidal direction. The radial structure of the modes are evaluated in potential fluctuation. The characteristics are not in contradictory with geodesic acoustic modes.
