Abstract

The intermittency of the inner Solar Wind turbulence is analyzed by using the data of the velocity field measured by the Helios spacecraft. Scaling laws has been obtained from the Extended Self-Similarity relation, which is well visible and allows us to recover a set of universal scaling exponents for the velocity structure functions. These scaling exponents can be fitted by the existing models describing intermittency in Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
