Applications of noise theory to plasma fluctuations.
Noise theory is used to study the temporal correlations of stationary random fluctuations that are homogeneous in space. Statistical properties of the fluctuations, such as the power spectrum and the correlation function, are computed. The results are compared with the observed plasma density fluctuations from tokamak experiments.
