Abstract
We have measured multipoint fluctuations inside a divertor simulation experimental module (D-module) during the transient discharge from attached to detached states in the tandem mirror device GAMMA 10/PDX. It was first observed that blob-/hole- like positive/negative spikes of the ion saturation current appeared non-periodically around the radially outer side edge on the V-shaped target plate. This tendency became outstanding in the transient state, and the typical speed and size of the isolated blob-like structures in the azimuthal direction were estimated. Additionally, lower-frequency periodic mode fluctuations and their changes due to plasma detachment were investigated not only in the D-module but also in the central cell with the microwave interferometer, etc. Odd and even modes continuously appeared during the discharge, in the range of several kilohertz.
