abstract = {The identification of turbulence sources would drive to a
deeper understanding of confinement dynamics in tokamak
plasmas. Turbulence results from a mixture of instabilities
corresponding to sources at different timescales and spatial
scales. Using poloidal correlation reflectometry and
multi-pin Langmuir probe, it was shown in the T-10 and the
Tokamak Experiment for Technology Oriented Research (TEXTOR)
tokamaks that the reflectometry frequency spectrum is the
superposition of several components: broadband component,
quasi-coherent (QC) modes and low-frequency components. The
relevance of QC modes is associated with their link with the
trapped electron mode instability. This link was exhibited
in the transition from the linear ohmic confinement (LOC) to
the saturated ohmic confinement (SOC) regime. A method is
presented in this paper to extract the QC mode component
from the reflectometry data, enabling its separation from
the broadband component and the study of its time evolution.
It is a first step toward the discrimination of turbulence
sources. The central idea explores a way to combine the
approach of signal processing and machine learning. The
continuous wavelet transform on the basis of complex Morlet
wavelet has proved to be efficient in providing a
decomposition of a signal at different scales over time for
fluctuation tackling; clustering techniques, such as the
mini-batch K-means, are able to tackle clusters at different
scales. The method was applied to Tore Supra and TEXTOR
reflectometry data. In Tore Supra, the amplitude of the
extracted QC mode component decreases during the LOC–SOC
transition. In TEXTOR, the amplitude of the coherent spectra
of the extracted QC mode component is similar to the
experimental coherent spectra obtained through correlation
reflectometry. The developed method permits the extraction
of components, preserving their physical and statistical
properties.},
