摘要
The ion temperature in turbulent plasma filaments T-i fil is measured by a retarding field analyser during L-mode discharges in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. At 2 cm outside the separatrix T-i fil approximate to 80-110 eV, which is 3-4 times that of the background ions and 50-70% of the ion temperature at the separatrix. T-i fil is reproduced by a fluid model of the parallel filament transport assuming the radial filament propagation speed of 400-1000 m s(-1) in the near scrape-off layer, consistent with earlier experimental estimates. The conditional sampling used in experiment to measure T-i fil is tested on artificial time series obtained from a gyrofluid turbulence simulation.
