Abstract

At the onset of the L–H transition in the DIII-D tokamak [Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research, 1986 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), Vol. I, p.159], a fast (≊100 μsec) suppression of microturbulence is observed as the edge transport barrier is formed. This fast edge suppression is followed by a much slower (tens of msec), but substantial (≥50%) reduction in the relative density fluctuation level. This second turbulence suppression phase, which is observed to correlate with growing E×B velocity shear, has been localized to the plasma interior, and may explain why the observed transport reduction in the H mode has been observed to extend deep into the plasma, well beyond the edge transport barrier.
