At certain values of the edge rotational transform a, the confinement quality of plasmas in the Wendelstein 7-AS (W7-AS) stellarator is found to reactvery sensitively to small modifications of the edge rotational transform a. As a can be reproducibly changed either by external fields or by a small plasma current, these transitions offer a precise way to systematically analyse differences in plasma turbulence between bad and good confinement cases. This paper presents results of the study of electron density fluctuations associated with confinement changes. Wavenumber and frequency spectra and radial profiles are compared. A slow and reproducible transition is induced by a small plasma current and the sequence of events leading to bad confinement is investigated. The laser scattering core plasma density fluctuation measurements are complemented by edge beam emission spectroscopy results and magnetic fluctuation measurements with Mirnov coils.Clear correspondence between plasma fluctuations and confinement degradation is observed: the weight of larger structures increases, fluctuations increase in the plasma core, the poloidal flow velocity decreases and regions of mode-like activity move radially in the plasma. These changes occur gradually and controllably if the magnetic configuration is steered by a small plasma current.

W7-ASステラレーターにおいて、端部回転変換ιの特定の値で、プラズマの閉じ込め品質が端部回転変換ιの小さな変化に対して非常に敏感に反応することが見出された。端部回転変換ιは外部磁場または小さなプラズマ電流によって再現性よく変化させることができるため、これらの遷移は、閉じ込めが不良な場合と良好な場合の間でのプラズマ乱流の差異を系統的に分析する精密な手段を提供する。本論文では、閉じ込めに関連する電子密度揺動の研究結果を提示する。波数スペクトルと周波数スペクトル、および動径プロファイルを比較する。小さなプラズマ電流によって緩やかで再現性のある遷移が誘起され、閉じ込め不良に至る一連の過程を調査する。レーザー散乱によるコアプラズマ密度揺動測定は、ビーム発光分光法による端部プラズマ測定結果および磁気揺動測定(ミルノフコイル)によって補完される。プラズマ揺動と閉じ込め劣化の間には明確な対応関係が観測される:より大きな構造の重みが増加し、コア領域で揺動が増大し、ポロイダル流速度が低下し、モード様活動の領域が動径方向に移動する。これらの変化は、磁気配位が小さなプラズマ電流によって制御される場合、緩やかかつ再現性よく発生する。
