Abstract
A method to deduce the 2 x 2 transport matrix for coupled heat and par ticle transport in Tokamaks is proposed. The method applies to perturb ative experiments, and is based on a Fourier transform of the measured signals of temperature and density. By analyzing different linear com binations of temperature and density, the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the transport matrix are determined. The method is tested for a nu mber of illustrative cases using simulated data, and the sensitivity t o noise on the signals is evaluated.
