摘要：

The scaling of plasma turbulence, turbulent particle flux and cross-phase with shear in the edge of the TEXTOR-94 tokamak is obtained from measurements from fast scanning probes and compared with various existing analytical theories. It is found that the scaling can be expressed as a second order polynomial and that the cross-phase plays a key role in the suppression of particle flux. The variable rate of shear, kept below the value required to produce a low to high particle confinement transition, was obtained by changing, on a shot to shot basis, the voltage applied to an electrode introduced 4 cm into the plasma.
