Intermittency and turbulence in a magnetically confined fusion plasma

• The intermittency of the magnetic turbulence in reversed field pinch plasmas was measured. The probability distribution functions of magnetic field differences were not scale invariant because the wings of these functions were more important as the scales become smaller. This phenomena was identified as a classical signature of intermittency. The scaling laws also appeared very close to the external wall of the confinement device.
