Abstract

No clear dependence of δn/n upon ν* is observed for r/a <0.5. This is correlated with χeff from the power analyses and micro instability simulations. Contrarily at the edge δn/n varies significantly when increasing ν* by a factor of 4.7. The global energy confinement exhibits a degradation when increasing ν*: B 0τE ∼ ν*-0.5. These results suggest and important role of the edge transport in the degradation of energy confinement when increasing ν*.
