### Characteristics of plasma turbulence in the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak

Abstract:

Turbulence is a major factor limiting the achievement of better tokamak performance as it enhances the transport of particles, momentum and heat which hinders the foremost objective of tokamaks. Hence, understanding and possibly being able to control turbulence in tokamaks is of paramount importance, not to mention our intellectual curiosity of it. We take the first step by making measurements of turbulence using the 2D ($8$ radial $imes$ $4$ poloidal channels) beam emission spectroscopy...
