Abstract:
Spectral changes in electric field fluctuation are measured using twin heavy ion beam probes in CHS before and after an internal transport barrier is broken down. A wavelet analysis reveals intermittent behaviors of the fluctuations, and a significant correlation between fluctuation powers of the low (2.5 < f < 10 kHz) and high (30 < f < 250 kHz) ranges. The high frequency (turbulence) fluctuation increases with a decrease in the low frequency fluctuation after the back-transition. The change in the power distribution between these two frequency ranges may contribute to the improved transport on the barrier.
