A new class of density fluctuations has been observed in the ATC tokamak by using spectral analysis of scattered microwaves. The observed frequency spectrum is consistent with that of drift waves with amplitudes that are maximum in the wavelength range 0.5 to 1.0 cm where finite ion Larmor radius effects are important for plasma stability. The total density fluctuation is n tilde/sub e/ greater than or equal to 5 x 10$sup -3$ anti n/sub e/. It is estimated that these fluctuations could account for a large fraction of the electron energy losses of the ATC discharge. (auth)
