Physop Summary for Friday May 16, 2003; Run 1030516

Purpose: MP 295: High Power RF (Wukitch)
Background: Li pellet zonal flow (Marmar)
Session leader: Wukitch
Physics operator: Rowan
Engineering operators: Cochran, Byford, Dekow

Engineering Setup----------------------------------------------------------

ECDC overnight in D2 at 2e-4 Torr, stopping by 07:00.
Bake at 60 C overnight .

Run begins at 09:00 and ends at 17:00.

Power systems the same as on 1030514005

Gas setup:
fill B-Top with 6 psi D2 Hybrid enabled (PG4)
fill B-side lower with 1 psi Ar Hybrid enabled (PG1)
fill B-side upper with 10 psi D2 Hybrid DISABLED (PG2) (for ECDC)
fill C-side with 30 psi D2 Hybrid enabled (PG3)

Enable the following gate valves, assuming no vacuum problems:
ECE, DNB, VUV

RF Setup: All 4 transmitters in Run On by 08:00.

Begin the run at 0.8 MA as for the setup shot. Increase to 1 MA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary--------------------------------------------------------------------
C-Mod ran well throughout the day. There were some camac problems which
prevented consistent acqusition of data for MSE, neutrons, H/D ratio, and
the ratiomatic. There were two fizzles and two no power shots. The first
was due to high BZ_0. On shots for which H/(H+D) was available, it was
approximately 6%.

Loaded shot 1030514005 to start the run. Used density feedback throughout
the day. A similar shot from the same day (1030514020) was available to
serve as a model if density feedback had been unavailable.

The camac problems limited the number of shots on which data was
available for MSE, neutrons, H/D ratio, BES fast channels, and the
ratiomatic. When the MSE crate was physically removed from the highway,
the neutron data was taken successfully. The motivation for this was a
low voltage on the MSE crate's 6V bus. No other strong correlations
were observed.

See SL log for comments on RF performance.

Lithium pellets were injected during rampdown. See LPI topic for details.
