Abstract

This paper presents an investigation of the geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) using two poloidally separated Doppler backscattering systems in Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak. Each system allows for the simultaneous measurement of turbulence rotation velocity and density fluctuations with high precision. With the Doppler backscattering systems, the GAM frequency, the symmetric feature of poloidal flow fluctuations, and the interaction between GAM and turbulence are surveyed. The results of bispectral analysis show a clear interaction of GAM with the ambient turbulence. A clear measurement of GAM in the envelope of plasma density fluctuations using Doppler backscatter system is shown, and the modulations of the turbulence perpendicular velocity on the density turbulence are correlated at two different poloidal position.
