Abstract
Quasi-coherent micro-instabilities is one of the key topics of magnetic confinement fusion.This work focuses on the quasi-coherent spectra of ion temperature gradient(ITG)and trapped-electron-mode instabilities using newly developed far-forward collective scattering measurements within ohmic plasmas in the J-TEXT tokamak.The ITG mode is characterized by frequencies ranging from 30 to 100 kHz and wavenumbers(kθρs)less than 0.3.Beyond a critical plasma density threshold,the ITG mode undergoes a bifurcation,which is marked by a reduction in frequency and an enhancement in amplitude.Concurrently,enhancements in ion energy loss and degradation in confinement are observed.This ground-breaking discovery represents the first instance of direct experimental evidence that establishes a clear link between ITG instability and ion thermal transport.
