    • Intermittent fluctuations in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer 

      Garcia, Odd Erik; Fritzner, Sindre Markus; Kube, Ralph; Cziegler, Istvan; LaBombard, Brian; Terry, Jim L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Fluctuations in the boundary region of the Alcator C-Mod tokamak have been analyzed using gas puff imaging data. It is found that the fluctuation amplitudes in the near scrape-off layer follow a normal distribution while the far scrape-off layer fluctuations are dominated by large amplitude bursts due to radial motion of blob-like structures and have a positively skewed and flattened amplitude ...
    • Relationship between frequency power spectra and intermittent, large-amplitude bursts in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer 

      Theodorsen, Audun; Garcia, Odd Erik; Kube, Ralph; LaBombard, Brian; Terry, Jim L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-21)
      Fluctuations in the boundary region of the Alcator C-Mod tokamak have been analyzed using gas puff imaging data from a set of Ohmically heated plasma density scan experiments. It is found that the relative fluctuation amplitudes are modest and close to normally distributed at the separatrix but become increasingly larger and skewed towards the main chamber wall. The frequency power spectra are ...
    • Statistical properties of fluctuation driven flows in the outboard mid-plane SOL of Alcator C-Mod

      The scale length of the radial density profile in scrape-off layer plasmas has been shown to depend on the line-averaged plasma density. While first reported on AlcatorC-Mod, recent work verifies this phenomena in JET and ASDEX Upgrade. In low density plasmas with a sheath-limited SOL, the density profiles present a two-scale structure which allows the separation of the SOL into two distinct regions. ...
    • Statistical properties of the plasma fluctuations and turbulent cross-field fluxes in the outboard mid-plane scrape-off layer of Alcator C-Mod 

      Kube, Ralph; Garcia, Odd Erik; Theodorsen, Audun; Kuang, Adam; LaBombard, Brian; Terry, Jim L.; Brunner, Dan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-29)
      The Alcator C-Mod mirror Langmuir probe diagnostic is used to characterize plasma fluctuations in the outboard mid-plane scrape-off layer (SOL). Ohmically heated L-mode plasmas with Greenwald fractions from 0.1 to 0.45 are analyzed. In plasmas with a low line-averaged core density, the radial profiles of the average electron density and temperature feature a two-scale structure with a strong gradient ...
