Investigation of Turbulent Transport in Non-Stabilized Plasma at the Edge of the GOLEM Tokamak
Plasma turbulent transport was investigated at the edge of the GOLEM tokamak. For this purpose, ion saturation current fluctuations were measured by means of Langmuir probes. Plasma stabilization was not activated during the discharges under study. Non-Gaussian behavior is observed, which indicates the presence of coherent structures. Study of the radial dependence of statistical and temporal characteristics of fluctuations allows to conclude that non-elongated blob-like structures with comparable radial and poloidal size should govern the plasma transport at the edge of the GOLEM tokamak.
