Turbulence is significantly reduced in a tokamak plasma as a result of neon
seeding of an L-mode discharge. Correspondingly, confinement is improved a
nd cross-field ion thermal transport reduced. Fully saturated turbulence in
the range 0.1 less than or equal to k(perpendicular to)rho(s) less than or
equal to 0.6 is measured at rho = 0.7 and exhibits a factor of 5 reduction
in total power after neon injection, with almost complete suppression for
k(perpendicular to)rho(s) > 0.35. These observations are consistent with a
reduction in the calculated linear growth rate fur k(perpendicular to)rho(s
) > 0.5 and an increase in the measured E x B flow shearing rate.
