In the present proposal the impact of impurities on the background turbulence will be studied. The stabilizing role of impurities on ITG has been known for decades now, see e.g. <ref>R. R. Domínguez and M. N. Rosenbluth, Nuclear Fusion '''29''' 844 (1989)</ref>, including motivation/objectives and experience of the proponent (typically one-two pages)
 
'''Motivation.'''
 
In the context of analytical theory, the stabilizing role of impurities on Ion-Temperature-Gradient (ITG) driven instability has been known for decades, see e.g. <ref>R. R. Domínguez and M. N. Rosenbluth, Nuclear Fusion '''29''' 844 (1989).</ref>, where the linear dispersion relation shows that the increase of the impurity concentration has a positive impact on the critical gradient of the toroidal ITG mode and its growth rate. Numerically, and on a quasi-linear fashion, in  <ref>R. R. Domínguez and G. M. Staebler, Nuclear Fusion '''33''' 51 (1993).</ref> the benign impact of increasing the effective charge, $Z_{\text{eff}}$, on ITG stability, albeit for the simplified geometry slab.

In the present proposal the impact of impurities on the background turbulence will be studied.
