Abstract
The parametric dependence studies of anomalous particle pinch observed in tore supra discharges were discussed. The thermodiffusion and magnetic field curvature pinches which existed together were also demonstrated. A weak effect of the thermodiffusion on the density profile could be identified in the plasma core region only when the Ware pinch was completely suppressed. The results show that ion temperature gradient modes (ITG) and trapped electron modes (TEM) were destabilized inside the region.
