Abstract
Electromagnetic plasma turbulence at hyperfine (i.e., electron gyroradius) scales is studied in the geometry of an advanced stellarator fusion experiment, Wendelstein 7-AS [H. Renner, Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 31, 1579 (1989)], by means of nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations. It is demonstrated that high-amplitude radial streamers may also exist in non-tokamak devices, raising the electron heat flux to experimentally relevant values. Moreover, some statistical characteristics of the fully developed turbulence are computed, highlighting the (co-)existence, nature, and role of self-generated zonal flows and fields.
