Edge radial electric field in positive and negative triangularity plasmas in the TCV tokamak

Abstract

Abstract We present the first edge Er measurements in negative triangularity (NT) plasmas in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV). The Doppler backscattering measurements of v⊥ ≈ Er / B reveal a significant impact of triangularity on the Er well: in Ohmic, neutral beam injection, and electron cyclotron resonance heated discharges, the Er well and associated Er × B shear are stronger in NT-shaped plasmas compared to their positive triangularity (PT) counterpart. This suggests a connection to the concomitant NT performance gain relative to PT L-mode.
