description <jats:p>Electron temperature fluctuations have been investigated in the plasma of “Thorello,” a small toroidal device (minor radius a=8 cm and major radius R=40 cm) which produces a magnetized plasma in steady-state condition without rotational transform (n≅1011 cm−3; Te≅2 eV; B=1000 G).1 In our experiment two techniques are applied to estimate T̃e: triple Langmuir probe technique and fast-sweep Langmuir probe method, in both cases, varying the density of the neutral source (in our plasma, H2).
