Experimental Study of Multi-scale Interaction between (Intermediate, Small)-scale Microturbulence and MHD modes in EAST Plasmas P. J. Sun, Y. D. Li, Y. Ren, X. D. Zhang, G. J. Wu, L. Q. Xu, R. Chen, Q. Li, H. L. Zhao, J. Z. Zhang, T. H. Shi, H. Q. Liu, Y. M. Wang, B. Lyu, L. Q. Hu, J. Li and the EAST Team (Intermediate, small)-scale microturbulence (k = 10, 18 and 26 cm−1, k ρ 𝑖 ∼ 2−5.2) was measured simultaneously by the EAST tangential CO2 laser collective scattering system Nonlinear coupling between (intermediate, small)-scale microturbulence and an MHD mode has been idetified fro the first time through using bispectral analysis methodology Temporal evolution of both the power and the frequency of (intermediate, small)-scale microturbulence has been proved to be correlated to the 2/1 tearing mode
