Turbulence Behaviour During Electron Heated Reversed Shear Discharges in JET

In previous studies of plasma turbulence behaviour, during dominant ion heated (Ti > Te) internal transport barrier (ITB) discharges in the JET tokamak using reflectometry, low frequency turbulence ( < 20kHz) was observed to be reduced within the volume enclosed by an ion thermal barrier (i-ITB). The reduction was also correlated with reduced ion thermal conductivity ci. Higher frequency turbulence ( > 50kHz) was locally reduced around the electron thermal barrier (e-ITB), also coinciding with reduced electron thermal conductivity ce [1]. This paper reports observations on core and edge turbulence behavior during dominant electron heated (Te Ti) discharges with a pure e-ITB generated using Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD).
