SUMMARY. Formation of transport barrier at plasma edge for particle flow was observed in CHS and dynamics of edge density profile was studied.. Heating power threshold exists for the transition. It is roughly two times larger than tokamak scaling. 3. When the density profile is hollow shape during the transition, the improvement of electron heat transport was simultaneously observed (without ECH) for middle density plasma (Ne ~ 3 x 9 m -3 ) which is above density threshold of previous ITB experiments in CHS.

Summary JIPPT-IIU. Coherent oscillation with GAM characteristics was found in the HIBP measurements on JIPPT-IIU tokamak. CHS. Heavy ion beam probe successfully measured the local electric field fluctuation spectrum.. Dual HIBPs confirm the presence of zonal flows (f<~khz) by showing a long-distance correlation with toroidal symmetry in electric field fluctuation 3. The amplitude of zonal flow is about V. The radial wavelength is ~.5 cm. 4. The amplitude of the zonal flows is found to be reduced in the barrier location after the transport barrier decayed.
