Anomalous transport in tokamaks is generally attributed to turbulent fluctuations. Since a large variety of modes are potentially unstable, a wide range of short-scale fluctuations should be measured, with wavenumbers from krho(i) similar to 0. 1 to krho(i) much greater than 1. In the Tore Supra tokamak, a light scattering experiment has made possible fluctuation measurements in the medium- and high-k domains where a transition in the k-spectrum is observed: the fluctuation level decreases much faster than usual observations, typically with a power law S(k) = k(-6). A scan of the ion Larmor radius shows that the transition wavenumber scales with p(i) around kp(i) similar to 1.5. This transition indicates that a characteristic length scale should be involved to describe the fluctuation nonlinear dynamics in this range. The resulting very low level of fluctuations at high-k does not support a strong effect of turbulence driven by the electron temperature gradient. For this gyroradius scan, the characteristics of turbulence also exhibit a good matching with predictions from gyro-Bohm scaling: the typical scale length of turbulence scales with the ion Larmor radius, the typical timescales with a/c(s); the turbulence level also scales with pi, according to the mixing length rule.
