Long-distance correlation of fluctuations in TJ-II
Pedrosa et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 215003 (2008)
Probes are 160° toroidally displaced
A field line passing through one probe is approximately 150° poloidally apart when reaching the toroidal position of the other probe
Long-distance correlation occur during L-H transition

Torsatron TJ-K
l=1, m=6 Torsatron
Large plasma radius:R0 = 0.6 m
small plasma radius:a = 0.1 m
Working gas: He
Neutral gas pressure:7 mPa
Magnetic field strength: 72 mT
Plasma heating: ECRH (2.45 GHz, 1.8 kW)
Plasma parameter:ne = 1∙1017 m-3
Te = 10 eVTi < 1 eV
Advantages of TJ-K:
- Dimensionless plasma parameters are similar to those in fusion edge plasmas
- The low temperature plasma has an excellent accessibility for probe arrays

Summary
Shear flows causes a strong increase in the long-range correlation:in the potential fluctuations, zonal flow-like modes are excited
density long-distance correlation is dominated by an m=3 mode
Coherency analysis reveals the existence of m=0 density fluctuationsdue to
background profile fluctuations
zonal density
