abstract = {The electrostatic response of the edge plasma to a magnetic
island induced by resonant magnetic perturbations to the
plasma edge of the circular limiter tokamak TEXTOR is
analyzed. Measurements of plasma potential are interpreted
by simulations with the Hamiltonian guiding center code
Orbit. We find a strong correlation between the magnetic
field topology and the poloidal modulation of the measured
plasma potential. The ion and electron drifts yield a
predominantly electron driven radial diffusion when
approaching the island X-point while ion diffusivities are
generally an order of magnitude smaller. This causes a
strong radial electric field structure pointing outward from
the island O-point. The good agreement found between
measured and modeled plasma potential connected to the
enhanced radial particle diffusivities supports that a
magnetic island in the edge of a tokamak plasma can act as
convective cell. We show in detail that the particular,
non-ambipolar drifts of electrons and ions in a 3D magnetic
topology account for these effects. An analytical model for
the plasma potential is implemented in the code Orbit, and
analyses of ion and electron radial diffusion show that both
ion- and electron-dominated transport regimes can exist,
which are known as ion and electron root solutions in
stellarators. This finding and comparison with reversed
field pinch studies and stellarator literature suggest that
the role of magnetic islands as convective cells and hence
as major radial particle transport drivers could be a
generic mechanism in 3D plasma boundary layers.},
