Up/down impurity density asymmetries in C-Mod plasmas

Brightness profiles of x-ray emission from H-like Ar17+ exhibit a distinct up/down asymmetry under certain operating conditions in C-Mod plasmas, indicating that impurity densities are not constant on flux surfaces with r/a between  ~0.8 and  ~0.95. In L- and I-mode plasmas, there is an x-ray bright...
