Boundary plasma response in RFX-mod to 3D magnetic field perturbations

The edge of the RFX-mod (R=2m, a=0.46m) Reversed Field Pinch device is characterized by weak magnetic chaos affecting ion and electron diffusion. Edge particle transport is strongly influenced by a toroidal and poloidal asymmetry caused by magnetic islands and an ambipolar radial electric field ensu...
