2 GOAL OF INVESTIGATIONS TO UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICAL MECHANISMS OF PLASMA TURBULENCE. WITH THIS AIM : 1. None-linear turbulence greatly complicates the identification of the physical mechanisms as it distort the spectra. In order to evaluate non-linear properties the investigations were conducted in the wide range of discharge types from the highest Ohmic confinement with peaked density up to the degraded high power heated discharges.. Diagnostics capable of obtaining spatial structure, propagation properties of turbulence (correlation reflectometry, multipine Langmuir probes and HIBP) were used 3. Radial, poloidal and absolute sensitivity of reflectometry to the local density fluctuations were especially checked with full wave D electromagnetic code. 4. Direct comparison of all three diagnostics were carried out in order to increase reliability of the results.

3 The Schematics of T-1 diagnostics. Scheme of poloidal correlations Circular limiter Rail Limiter Antenna array 1 poloidally and radially separated Langmuir probes O-mode correlation reflectometer, poloidal, radial and toroidal correlations in n cr range from.8 to m -3 Movable multipin Langmuir probes. poloidal and radial correlations of density and floating potential fluctuations Heavy Ion Beam Probe (HIBP) - Plasma potential and secondary ion beam current fluctuations - sample volume ~1cm,bandwidth 1kHz

Radial phase shift of QC may be explained by rotation of helical fingers, obtained in 3D gyrokinetic simulations due to the toroidal mode coupling of several modes Broad Band (BB) has the lowest correlation length, corresponding to exitation of a single high m number modes. Reality of BB supported by Langmuir probes spectra

Strong gas influx broadens density profile, increases η i and destabilizes LF QC

HF QC (DTEM) oscillations dominate at high density. This tendency is similar for OH and ECRH. LF QC (ITG) instability at low density may be connected with high neutral particle penetration to the plasma center. Neutrals do not penetrate in plasma core at higher densities, and DTEM instability dominates in this case Relative fluctuation level for ρ=.5 seems not depend on density Turbulence increases in a factor of two in ECRH in accordance with confinement degradation Quasi-Coherent input in spectrum drastically decreases with increase of heating power and turbulence level. This is consistent with destruction of toroidal coupling by zonal flows

(Strong long distance toroidal coupling??) Turbulence velocity closely related with m/n=/1 MHD island velocity in stationary conditions (Coupling with MHD??). Rigid body rotation easily breaks under strong edge cooling either by gas puff or pellet injection

Possible explanation: Strong decrease of the edge rotation, causing temporal velocity shear between edge and core and suppression of QC turbulence due to velocity shear. Turbulence at the beginning stage of ECRH Ohmic confinement may maintains up to ms after ECRH start. Delay of Confinement Deterioration in ASDEX with NBI, in T-1 with ECRH. HF QC fluctuations dominant at the first 5 15 ms at increased electron temperature gradient and low particles influx. LF QC substitute them after particle influx rise and density profile broadening. Excitation of TEM with transition to ITG after density profile broadening is consistent with theory.

13 Conclusions I 1. Turbulence spectra retain the features of the linear instability stage in high OH confinement discharges. These features steadily vanishes with the transition to strong non-linear regime.. The Broad Band turbulence with minimal radial scale arises due to stochastic excitation of a single high m modes, while Quasi- Coherent represent toroidal coupling of several modes. 3. Experiment consistent with the existing of three different instabilities: in core - ITG (LF QC) and DTEM (HF QC); and Ballooning Resistive Interchange in SOL. 4. LF QC (ITG) typically associated with the regions with high level of particles fluxes at plasma edge and low density, or with flat density gradient in center zone. 5. HF QC (DTEM), in difference, typical for low particles fluxes region and high electron temperature gradients.

14 Conclusions II 6. OH and ECRH discharges showed the transition from LF to HF QC with increase of density from low up to critical. The integrate turbulence level not depends on n e, despite change of the mode type. Turbulence level at half radius increases with total power 7. Special modes near 15 3 khz were observed with properties of Geodesic Acoustic Mode, which is a the branch of zonal flows. But its localization at rational surfaces contradict to existing theories. The predicted zonal flows near zero frequency haven t seen yet. 8. QC oscillations tends to rotate as a rigid body with velocity of MHD m/n=/1 island that suppose mechanism of long distance interaction between fluctuations at different radii and global MHD modes. This interaction could be destroyed by the relatively weak velocity shear (SOC-IOC, cold puff) 9. Significant progress were achieved both in experimental turbulence characterization and in theory, but, unfortunately, only a few works devoted to their direct comparison.
