Control of the chaotic regimes of nonlinear drift-waves in a magnetized laboratory plasma

Nonlinear drift-waves are experimentally studied in a cylindrical magnetized laboratory plasma. Low-dimensional chaotic regimes are controled using the time-delay autosynchronization method [K. Pyragas, Phys. Lett. A 170, 421 (1992)]. A significant reduction of spectral width in the power spectrum is obtained.
