Abstract
The authors presents a plasma density perturbation analysis which closely couples measurements of perturbations in density, temperature and turbulent fluctuation levels with a theoretical model in order to calculate particle fluxes. Non-linearities in the plasma model and the modulation of plasma parameters such as the electron temperature caused by the density perturbation are found to be significant. Some necessary details of the modification of the density fluctuation spectrum, and the plasma potential and Zeff profile remain to be measured. However, the available data allow steady state and perturbed particle fluxes in the low collisionality region of TEXT (5 cm < r < 20 cm) to be calculated using a simplified dissipative trapped electron model. These calculated fluxes do not agree with the measured fluxes
