- Abstract
- Magnetic islands (MIs), resulting from a magnetic field reconnection, are ubiquitous structures in magnetized plasmas. In tokamak plasmas, recent researches suggested that the interaction between an MI and ambient turbulence can be important for the nonlinear MI evolution, but a lack of detailed experimental observations and analyses has prevented further understanding. Here, we provide comprehensive observations such as turbulence spreading into an MI and turbulence enhancement at the reconnection site, elucidating intricate effects of plasma turbulence on the nonlinear MI evolution. Magnetic reconnection and plasma turbulence occur in atmospheric and magnetized laboratory plasmas. Here the authors report evolution of magnetic islands and plasma turbulence in tokamak plasmas using high resolution 2D electron cyclotron emission diagnostics.
