Cardozo}, title = {Electron thermal transport barriers in RTP: experiment and modelling}, abstract = {Experiments in which very localized electron cyclotron heating (ECH) is scanned through the RTP plasma show sharp transitions, in which the electron temperature profile abruptly changes shape. The phenomenology-the profiles shapes, the sharp transitions-can be reproduced with a transport model which features electron transport barriers near all (half-) integer q values. This model is tested against ECH deposition scans in seven series of typically 60 discharges.
