Notes:
We discuss the fluctuation characteristics expected from MHD modes including ballooning modes and show how they can be studied using measurements of ECE. A novel technique, ECE correlation radiometry, which enables the location and spatial structure of long wavelength (L(approximately-greater-than)0.1×a) MHD modes to be determined, is described. Measurements on JET with a 44-channel ECE heterodyne radiometer are presented and show the existence of high-frequency (high n number) MHD modes under high poloidal beta, pellet-enhanced performance (PEP) plasma conditions. Similar measurements are planned for PBX-M and the measurement system is described.
