摘要：

Edge fluctuations are characterized and their associated transport is determined from Langmuir probe measurements in the ZT-40M reversed field pinch. It is found that the fluctuations have high normalized amplitudes (e\phi(f)\/T(e) = 1.1, \T(e)\/T(e) = 0.5 and \n\/n = 0.4). There are significant contributions from magnetic perturbations acting on the equilibrium gradients. Compared to the global estimates, the fluctuation driven particle flux is large, whereas the corresponding electron energy flux is not. In the limiter shadow, the equilibrium density and electron temperature scale lengths are shorter and the fluctuation levels are higher. The fluctuation driven particle flux in the limiter shadow is 60% less than that in the plasma edge, most of the reduction is in the low frequency spectral region, which is where global MHD magnetic fluctuations are strongest.
