Abstract

The nature of the L- to H-mode transition is re-examined on the basis of the more recent experimental data, especially that obtained from Ohmically-heated plasmas where the transition is generally more gradual. This raises the question whether the transition is better explained as a gradual change in the characteristics of the turbulence at the plasma edge rather than by a sudden bifurcation in the transport process.
