Understanding the nature of fluctuations in the edge of I-mode and L-mode plasmas at ASDEX Upgrade

Changes in turbulence at the plasma edge are thought to lead to the formation of the edge transport barrier in tokamak plasmas, which defines the transition from low confinement (L-mode) to high confinement operation such as H-mode or the "improved'' confinement regime I-mode. I-mode...
