Steady-state and perturbative transport analysis are complementary techniques for the study of transport in tokamaks. These techniques are applied to the investigation of auxiliary-heated L-mode and supershot plasmas in the tokamak fusion test reactor (TFTR) [R. J. Hawryluk et al., Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research, Proceedings of the 11th International Conference, Kyoto, 1986 (IAEA, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 51.]. In the L mode, both steady-state and perturbative transport measurements reveal a strong temperature dependence that is consistent with electrostatic microinstability theory and the degradation of confinement with neutral beam power. Steady-state analysis of the ion heat and momentum balance in supershots indicates a reduction and a significant weakening of the power-law dependence on the transport in the center of the discharge. © 1991 American Institute of Physics.
