Reduction of core turbulence in I-mode plasmas in Alcator C-Mod

In this paper, we report observations of reduced core (0.40<ρ<0. 95) fluctuations in the edge localized mode (ELM)-free high-confinement regime, I-mode, at Alcator C-Mod (Marmar et al2009 Nucl. Fusion 49 104014). Long wavelength (kθρs<0.5) density fluctuation levels are observed...
