Abstract
Two complementary approaches were used to characterize transport on the Alcator C­Mod tokamak. The first was an empirical analysis of the scaling of transport with P*, the ion Larmor radius normalized to the plasma size. The second was a comparison of the transport predictions from the IFS-PPPL model of ion temperature gradient (ITG) driven turbulence to observations on C-Mod. The P* scaling experiments on C-Mod extend the range of plasma parameters over which the dimensionless scaling approach has been tested in both magnetic field ( to 8 T) and density (to (ne ) = 3.8 x 1020 /m3) ...
