Estimation of Particle Flux Driven by Coherent Mode Using of Statistical Conditional Averaging

Abstract

We proposed a new method to evaluate particle flux in magnetized turbulent plasma. To extract fundamental fluctuation pattern, we used template method which is a kind of statistical conditional averaging technique. The method allows as not only to extract coherent patterns of density and potential fluctuations but also to evaluate time delay between them. We succeeded to calculate particle flux driven by fluctuation pattern and observed this pattern drives inward particle flux. Result obtained by the method is in good agreement with that obtained by a conventional method.
