Density Fluctuation Measurement for Turbulence Study

  • Accurate measurement of plasma density and

electron temperature fluctuations is critical to electron temperature fluctuations is critical to understand the mechanism of anomalous transport based on turbulence.

  • 2-D microwave imaging reflectometry (MIR) can
  • vercome deficiencies of the conventional 1-D

reflectometry used for density fluctuation measurement measurement.
