Evidence of a turbulent ExB mixing avalanche mechanism of gas breakdown in strongly magnetized systems

Gas breakdown mechanism in plasma under the influence of complex electromagnetic field topology is still debatable. Here the authors present the evidence of the E×B mixing avalanche for gas breakdown in magnetized plasmas in fusion devices as tokamak.
