Abstract
The results of an investigation into the spectral characteristics, spatial structure and scaling with plasma parameters of low frequency density fluctuations in ohmically heated TCA plasmas are presented. A substantial fraction of the spectral energy is found to be associated with fairly small perpendicular wave numbers, (kperpendicular to )perpendicular to )Ln)-1.Keywords
