Abstract
An analysis of tokamak density fluctuations data permits the determination of two characteristic exponents. The exponents correspond to the powers of a power-law dependence of the distributions of the long-lasting monotonic change (“flight”) of the density and the time length of these changes. Speculation based on these results leads to construction of the fractional kinetic equation for the distribution function of the flights. The asymptotic transport properties of the particle density distribution function are directly connected with the exponents obtained from the density fluctuations data.Keywords
