Quiet-time statistics of electrostatic turbulent fluxes from the JET tokamak and the W7-AS and TJ-II stellarators.
The statistics of the quiet times between successive turbulent flux bursts measured at the edge of the JET tokamak and the W7-AS and TJ-II stellarators are analyzed in search for evidence of self-organized critical behavior. The results obtained are consistent with what would be expected in the situation where the underlying plasma is indeed in a near critical state.
