At the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), scientists have assembled a large database of detailed measurements of the two dimensional (2 - D) structure of
edge plasma turbulence made visible by a diagnostic technique known as gas puff imaging.

plasma center and the cooler
edge, and reduces
turbulence.
