AbstractGas puff modulation experiments are performed at ASDEX Upgrade in L-mode plasmas. We model the discharge with the ASTRA transport code in order to determine transport coefficients outside of a normalized radius of ρ
pol = 0.95. The experimental data is consistent with a range of particle diffusivities and pinch velocities of the order of D = (0.20 ± 0.13) m2 s−1 and v = (−1 ± 2) m s−1, respectively. The electron temperature response caused by the gas modulation permits to estimate also that heat diffusivity χ
e increases almost linearly when collisionality rises due to fuelling. The fuelling particle flux is amplified by recycling, overcompensating losses.
