This paper reviews measurements of edge plasma turbulence in toroidal magnetic fusion
devices with an emphasis on recent results in tokamaks. The dominant feature of edge …

Fluctuations of global additive quantities, like total energy or magnetization for instance, can
in principle be described by statistics of sums of (possibly correlated) random variables. Yet …

A unique parabolic relation is observed to link skewness and kurtosis of around ten
thousand density fluctuation signals, measured over the whole cross section of a toroidal …

Some key topics in tokamak edge plasma transport and turbulence are reviewed. Multi-
device results reveal a new paradigm of scrape-off layer (SOL) transport. Radial transport is …

A fast imaging camera is used to unveil the spatio-temporal properties of radially convective
events in the CSDX linear plasma device [MJ Burin et al, Phys. Plasmas, 12, 052320 …

An overview of the diagnostics installed on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak is presented.
Approximately 25 diagnostic systems are being operated on C-Mod. The compact design of …

The understanding and the predictive capability for turbulence in the plasma edge and
scrape-off layer (SOL) are crucial for the development of magnetic confinement fusion …

We study long time series of the ion saturation current and floating potential, sampled by
Langmuir probes dwelled in the outboard mid-plane scrape-off layer and embedded in the …

Studies of complexity in extended dissipative dynamical systems, in nature and in
laboratory, require multiple approaches and the framework of self-organized criticality (SOC) …

An investigation is presented of the edge turbulence in the National Spherical Torus
Experiment [M. Ono, MG Bell, RE Bell et al, Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion, 45, A335 (2003)] …
