Abstract

Present status of the analysis of HIBP data on zonal flows, streamers and drift-wave turbulence of the JIPPT-IIU tokamak plasmas, is reviewed. Limiting factors and improvements of heavy ion beam probe towards better understanding of tokamak turbulence, beam attenuation, beam quality of the probing beam, multiple energy analyzers for simultaneous measurement at various cross-sections of the plasmas, proposal for 2-dimensional measurement of the plasma turbulence, are discussed.

Keywords
