Contribution of the Electrostatic Fluctuation to the Particle and Energy Fluxes in the Edge Region of STP-3(M) Reversed Field Pinch Plasma

The analysis of particle and energy fluxes was made by using electrostatic probes in the edge region of STP-3(M) reversed field pinch plasma. One of the new findings is that the plasma potential profile in the case of high current plasma indicates an increase in radial electric field E r (=-∇ V s ) in the region where 0.92< r / a
