Abstract

The enhanced effective collision frequency in a turbulent plasma produced by a strong electric field is studied using a small toroidal device. The collision frequency is presented as a function of the electric field E and the average electron drift velocity. Two collision frequency regimes are identified. In the regime I where v ∝ E½, the current driven ion-acoustic turbulence is considered responsible.
