Marmar and John E. Rice. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dept. of Physics. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Physics Physics.

Using a spatially-resolving x-ray spectrometer system, toroidal impurity rotation in Alcator C-Mod plasmas was measured. The propagation of the rotational velocity from the edge to the core of the plasma column was measured during the L- to H-mode transition. Momentum transport was measured in both Ohmic and ICRF-heated discharges, which produced EDA and ELM-free H-modes. The momentum transport was modeled by a simplified diffusion model, in which momentum diffusivity was substantially higher than neoclassically predicted values. by John Reel Walk, Jr. S.B. 2011-02-23T14:39:36Z 2011-02-23T14:39:36Z 2010 2010 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/61271 701926486 eng M.I.T. theses are protected by copyright.
