Processes arising in the edge and diverted plasmas during ITB formation in the U-3M torsatron

Abstract: Spontaneous changes in confined plasma parameters have been observed recently in the l = 3/m = 9 Uragan-3M torsatron with an RF produced and heated plasma, these being interpreted as transition to an improved confinement mode due to ITB formation near the ι = 1/4 rational magnetic surface. In the work presented joint studies are carried out of changes in some edge and diverted plasma characteristics that accompany ITB formation. It is shown that ITB formation induces a hard E r bifurcation at the boundary pres… Show more

“…Changes in fluctuation behavior are good indicators of transition to improved confinement modes. In particular, investigations of spontaneous LH-like transition (hereinafter, transition) in the U-3M torsatron reveal a distinct decrease of fluctuation level and radial turbulent particle flux [37]. In this section we analyze the three data sets.…”

“…[14,36]. One can observe obvious change of the fluctuation amplitude in the middle position of every data source, which indicates the transition [37]. Therefore, we split each data set into two parts: before (data1) and after the transition point (data2).…”

“…The typical plasma parameters in the discharges under consideration are given in [10,11,[13][14][15]. The evolution of the fixed energy neutral flux in the U-3M was reported in [10,14,15]. A previously observed fast neutral flux rise in the plasma build-up stage based on 1 ms NPA signal integration time was confirmed using the 10 µs integration time and an 8 mega samples/second analog-to-digital converter board.…”
