摘要
New beam emission spectroscopy and correlation reflectometry density fluctuation diagnostics on TFTR allow examination of the crucial long wavelength (k(perpendicular-to rho i) < 0.1) region, where microwave scattering has indicated the bulk of the power density lies. The turbulent spectrum for low k is broadband and dominated by low frequencies (< 200 KHz), and the exact nature of the spectrum is dominated by Doppler effects. These core diagnostics show n/n rising as tau(E) decreases. Radial and poloidal correlation lengths from BES are comparable and are roughly 2-3 cm near the plasma edge and gradually drop to 1-2 cm in the region of r/a = 0.5-0.7. Values < 1.5 cm are indicated deeper in the com region, but precise values await further analysis which takes into account the effects of finite spatial resolution of the BES measurements. A strong anisotropy in the radial and poloidal wavenumber spectra is indicated from the shape of the correlation functions. The poloidal wavenumber spectrum does not increase indefinitely as k goes to 0 cm-1, but has a peak in the range of 1-2 cm-1.
