Abstract

Magnetic turbulence is directly observed internally in the pedestal of ELMy H-mode tokamak plasmas using a newly developed Faraday-effect polarimetry measurement. Fluctuation amplitude is δbr≥15 G (150–500 kHz), with a ratio of magnetic to density fluctuation |δbr/B|/|δn/n|≥0.15. Magnetic turbulence is identified as resulting from micro-tearing-instability and mode growth accompanied by degraded plasma confinement is observed.
