Correlation Analysis of Turbulent Plasmas.

Abstract

The objective of the program is to develop a method for the measurement of the correlation functions which in turn are used for the investigation of the nature of the instabilities and their role in the turbulent diffusion in the plasma. Special emphasis is placed on the testing of a diagnostic technique which is simple and sensitive enough for the relatively small volume and low density plasma source we used in the program. In the present report, the cross-beam correlation technique will first be discussed. This will be followed by a section on the use of laser interferometric method for the determination of electron density. In the last section, the important findings and recommendations will be discussed.
