The high-frequency range of power spectra of turbulent fluctuating quantities measured at the edge of magnetized plasmas displays a variety of trends: from power laws with different spectral indices to exponential. We propose a model able to account for the whole phenomenology simply by tuning the distribution in the duration of the signal spikes. Comparisons with data from RFX-mod and Alcator C-Mod experiments are performed. An attempt to relate the statistics of the bursts with their generating mechanism is made.

Abstract
The high-frequency range of power spectra of turbulent fluctuating quantities measured at the edge of magnetized plasmas displays a variety of trends: from power laws with different spectral indices to exponential. We propose a model able to account for the whole phenomenology simply by tuning the distribution in the duration of the signal spikes. Comparisons with data from RFX-mod and Alcator C-Mod experiments are performed. An attempt to relate the statistics of the bursts with their generating mechanism is made.File in questo prodotto:
