Abstract

In this paper the prospect of experimental investigation of phase-space turbulence in magnetically confined fusion plasmas is assessed, motivated by a theoretical suggestion of its potential role in turbulent anomalous transport conundrums. Three experimental approaches regarding (i) fusion plasma experiment, (ii) basic plasma experiment, and (iii) simulation data analysis are considered, accounting for challenges and expected outcomes. Platforms for experiments ranging from high-temperature fusion plasmas to low-temperature linear plasmas, are overviewed. Interdisciplinary interests regarding phase-space turbulence in magnetosphere plasmas and laser wake-field acceleration are also discussed.

Keywords
