A blob-filament (or simply “blob”) is a magnetic-field-aligned plasma structure which is
considerably denser than the surrounding background plasma and highly localized in the …

Single-point measurements of fluctuations in the scrape-off layer of magnetized plasmas are
generally found to be dominated by large-amplitude bursts which are associated with radial …

The intermittent character of turbulent transport is investigated with Langmuir probes in the
scrape-off layer and across the separatrix of ASDEX Upgrade Ohmic discharges. Radial …

A stochastic model is presented for intermittent fluctuations in the scrape-off layer of
magnetically confined plasmas. The fluctuations in the plasma density are modeled by a …

Fluctuations in the boundary region of the Alcator C-Mod tokamak have been analyzed
using gas puff imaging data. It is found that the fluctuation amplitudes in the near scrape-off …

Probe measurements in the scrape-off layer of tokamak plasmas show that the ion saturation
current signal is dominated by large amplitude bursts. Analysis of data time series from …

Blob statistical characteristics across the separatrix of HL-2A tokamak plasma have been
studied using a reciprocating Langmuir five-probe array. The radial profile of inverse …

The steep gradient edge region and scrape-off-layer (SOL) on the low-field-side of Alcator C-
Mod [IH Hutchinson, R. Boivin, F. Bombarda et al, Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994)] tokamak …

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 …

Filtered Poisson processes are often used as reference models for intermittent fluctuations in
physical systems. Such a process is here extended by adding a noise term, either as a …
