Saturation of magnetised plasma turbulence by propagating zonal flows
Richard Nies, Felix Parra, Michael Barnes +2
Strongly driven ion-scale turbulence in tokamak plasmas is shown to be regulated by a new propagating zonal flow mode, the toroidal secondary mode, which is nonlinearly supported b…

Measurement of zero-frequency fluctuations generated by coupling between Alfven modes in the JET tokamak
Juan Ruiz Ruiz, Jeronimo Garcia, Michael Barnes +13
We report the first experimental detection of a zero-frequency fluctuation that is pumped by an Alfvèn mode in a magnetically confined plasma. Core-localized bidirectional Alfvèn…
