In summary, we observe that the temperature perturbation generated from the
sawtooth crash is accompanied by a density perturbation of comparable magnitude.
Both the density and temperature perturbations are found to be transported out
through the confinement zone of TEXT at the same rate and in a manner consistent
with a diffusive process. In addition, the scalings of (r 2 /^) for particles and heat are
measured to be similar. These results indicate that particle and thermal transport for
sawtooth induced perturbations are coupled. Future work will include a heat transport
model consistent with a finite density perturbation and measurements of the transport
coupling during electron cyclotron resonance heating on TEXT.
