Predicting intrinsic plasma rotation and its shear, which often help stabilize plasma
instabilities affecting plasma performance, is important for prospective fusion grade devices.
Although rotation in ITER-like scenarios has been extrapolated from measured experimental
plasma rotation data, little is understood about the underlying mechanisms governing either
the generation or dissipation of momentum in a tokamak plasma. This paper reports on
studies of intrinsic toroidal and poloidal plasma rotation from charge exchange spectroscopy …
