Methods for testing transport models
This report describes progress over the previous year on methods for testing transport models. This includes considerable progress on developing statistical methods for testing theoretical plasma transport models and some initial results from this work. Additional progress is also reported on developing theoretical models with sufficient accuracy and flexibility to serve as useful test bed for applying these statistical methods. Our most fundamental result to date is that a single integrated transport model looks not only sufficient to reproduce a wide variety of experimental data, also but a necessary improvement over simple empirical confinement scalings. The way in which this conclusion was derived is described below. Some further work suggested by this conclusion is described briefly here, and in more detail in an accompanying description of work to be done under the second year of this three year contract. 9 refs.
