The tokamak is the leading configuration used in magnetically confined fusion experiments. Turbulence in tokamak plasmas is widely believed to result in transport of heat, particles and momentum. Prof. Anne White's research at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) focuses on the development of new fluctuation diagnostics for studying turbulence at the MIT Alcator C-Mod Tokamak and on collaboration with the DIII-D tokamak at General Atomics in the area of transport model validation.
