Dr. Gentle's personal research is currently concentrated on questions of transport, especially the peculiar phenomena often seen in the electron channel. He is also engaged in the construction of a new experiment here, the Helimac. This is a model system for study of turbulence in a magnetized plasma. It offers a simple geometry, essentially one-dimensional, but one in which the generic turbulence of hot magnetized plasmas -- drift waves -- will occur in a controlled fashion. The operating parameters are chosen to facilitate detailed turbulence measurements. The device permits control and variation of many of the key parameters of the theory, including magnetic curvature, magnetic shear, and flow shear.
