During the density rise, the transport barrier with steep temperature and density gradients near the plasma edge has been formed. Edge localized modes ( ELM )-like activity is also observed. Incoherent magnetic fluctuations in the frequency range f > 20 kHz are clearly suppressed during the density rise phase, while low frequency coherent part remains almost unchanged. Global energy confinement time in the density rise phase is improved by ~15 %, compared with that of the discharge without the OH-current. These experimental observations are very similar to the H-mode in tokamaks. There is a threshold of the current for the transition, where the increment of rotational transform by the threshold current corresponds to ~ 0.1 at the edge. No obvious increase in the edge poloidal rotation velocity, however, is observed during the density rise phase, that is, at most ~ 3 km/s."}, title = {Formation of H-mode Like Transport Barrier in the CHS Heliotron / Torsatron}, year = {1992} }
