Abstract
A heavy ion-beam probe has been used to make the first internal measur ements of magnetic fluctuations in a hot tokamak. The magnetic vector potential fluctuation, A(phis), is measured during magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) activity and is in reasonable agreement with the prediction of a three-dimensional, resistive, compressible, nonlinear MHD code. Asso ciated density and potential fluctuation measurements and magnetic isl and widths are also presented.
