In two plasmas produced by different heating (ECRH and NBI) schemes and characterized by different mean radial electric field structures, frequency-space-decomposed spectra of the global potential oscillation has been analyzed. In both cases, the oscillatory field has a monopole potential structure and a dipole radial electric field structure in the edge region. The width of the oscillating structure depends on its frequency as well as the heating scheme. As the frequency decreases, the oscillating structure asymptotically approaches to the mean profile.


Whether this sensitive is due to the magnitude / sign of radial neoclassical electric fields affecting Reynolds stress driven ZFs, neoclassical mechanisms, plasma collisionality or / and fast particle effects remain an open question.
