Power degradation shows up in global transport [[Scaling | Power degradation shows up in global transport [[Scaling law|scaling laws]], and implies a sub-linear scaling of the plasma energy content with the injected power. | ||
The basic explanation for these phenomena is self-regulation of the profiles by [[TJ-II:Turbulence|turbulence]]. | The basic explanation for these phenomena is self-regulation of the profiles by [[TJ-II:Turbulence|turbulence]]. | ||
