Observation of a Critical Gradient Threshold for Electron Temperature Fluctuations in the DIII-D Tokamak
A critical gradient threshold has been observed for the first time in a systematic, controlled experiment for a locally measured turbulent quantity in the core of a confined high-temperature plasma. In an experiment in the DIII-D tokamak where L[subscript T[subscript e]][superscript -1]=|∇T[subscrip...
