Villegas Institut de Recherche sur la Fusion Magnétique 1Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas, CNRS/Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France • Summary: Particle transport in tokamak plasmas is determined by collisions and turbulence. We report observations of low core turbulence plasmas in which: • electron transport > collisional predictions impurity transport collisional predictions • agreement with non-axisymmetric collisional calculations • Non axisymmetric neoclassical transport due to MHD can enhance significantly light species transport.R.
