Gould, R W

The focus of this research has been centered on the Caltech research tokamak. Somewhat more than half of the effort during the preceding year has been devoted to bringing it into operation, familiarizing ourselves with its characteristics, and to the development of further diagnostics. Concurrently, three experimental studies, one involving the propagation of toroidal magnetosonic modes, one involving drift wave turbulence, and the other involving lower hybrid turbulence are proceeding. Each is described in some detail.
