Description/AbstractPlasma edge fluctuations show a degree of intermittency similar to fluid turbulence. Using fluctuation measurements obtained with Langmuir probe data from two confinement devices, it is shown that plasma fluctuations have a multifractal character over the fluctuation range of scales with intermittency levels comparable to the levels measured in neutral fluid turbulence. In the mesoscale range, that is, for time scales between 10 times the turbulence decorrelation time and plasma confinement time, plasma fluctuations have a structure closer to a monofractal with very low intermittency.
