Abstract
We present results from experiments on electrostatic and magnetic fluc tuations in TBR Brazilian tokamak. The observed electrostatic turbulen ce induces anomalous particle transport that deteriorates the plasma c onfinement. We describe how to control this effect, by decreasing plas ma turbulence, with resonant magnetic perturbations that creates a Lag rangian diffusion of the chaotic magnetic field lines.
