Explaining Cold-Pulse Dynamics in Tokamak Plasmas Using Local Turbulent Transport Models

A long-standing enigma in plasma transport has been resolved by modeling of cold-pulse experiments conducted on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. Controlled edge cooling of fusion plasmas triggers core electron heating on time scales faster than an energy confinement time, which has long been interpreted a...
