Abstract

To understand turbulent transport in magnetized plasmas, an end-plate biasing experiment was performed in a linear magnetized plasma device, PANTA. Here we report the change of bi-coherence among fluctuations during biasing. During biasing, coupling with drift waves is decrease, and that with the mediator is increase.
