In the present experiment, we therefore plan to repeat the iota scan experiments while applying a radial electric field, induced via probe biasing.
In the present experiment, we therefore plan to repeat the iota scan experiments while applying a radial electric field, induced via probe biasing.


The plan is to scan iota between configurations 100_40 (or 100_38) and 100_44, while the B and D Langmuir probes are located at <math>\rho \simeq 0.85-0.90</math> (the reason being that this scan will move the important 8/5 rational surface across the Langmuir probe location, based on the results from the latest paper cited). The applied voltage to the biasing probe will be [-300, -150, 0, 150, 300], making 5 discharges at each voltage to verify reproducibility<ref>B.Ph. van Milligen, B.A. Carreras, L. Garc ́ıa, G. Grenfell, I. Voldiner, C. Hidalgo, and the TJ-II Team. ''The impact of radial electric fields and plasma rotation on intermittence in TJ-II''. [[doi:10.1088/1361-6587/ac54e9|Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion, 2021]].</ref>.

Apart from intermittence, we will quantify all other turbulence parameters that can be measured by the probes: <math>V_f, I_{\rm sat}, E_r, E_\theta, v_\theta, \Gamma</math>, the RMS of various quantities, long-range correlations between probes B and D, cross phase (between <math>E_\theta, I_{\rm sat}</math>), etc.<ref>B. van Milligen, B.
