This book will explore the nature and experimental characterization of plasma turbulence
and turbulent transport in the context of magnetic confinement fusion plasmas. The book will: i) describe experimental observations in modern tokamaks in detail and
explain their consequences; ii) discuss the change in paradigm these observations seem to
point at and the mathematical models available that might be able to encapsulate the new dynamics better than traditional models; iii) present and illustrate the use of various non-standard analysis tools to characterize the experimental features of turbulence in plasmas
in this complex regime (causality, intermittence, feature emergence, etc.)

Key Features:
