Edge rotation and the L/H threshold - dependence on known scaling parameters

Session Leader - Greenwald
Phys Op - Marmar


Background:

Recent work has revealed a connection between self-generated core and SOL flows, topology and the
L/H threshold For the conditions studied, 0.8 MA, 5.4 T and 1.2-1.6 x 10$^{20}$, the transition
occurs when
core toroidal rotation reaches about 0 for USN, LSN and DN plasmas. To make a connection
to the broader issues of the L/H threshold, we would like to determine if this picture holds
for other plasma conditions and particularly to measure dependence on parameters which are known to
be important for the L/H power threshold, namely n and B.

Scanning B requires running RF at lower frequency.


Plan:

Start with 1040506023 and get a decent H-mode. The RF pulse starts at the beginning of the TF flat-top ~ 0.8 sec. RF at 50 MHz.

1. with this plasma topology (strongly lower null) lower power systematically and find threshold - measure evolution of core rotation.

2. RF to max power (about 1.4 MW at 50 MHz - J4 only). Then scan ssep up to find H-mode threshold.



Results:

After some conditioning, we nailed down both thresholds. Given the power limitation though, we weren't able to go much past double null. In lower null the power threshold was with Prf between 0.5 and 0.6 MW. Ohmic power was about 0.5 MW.Rotation was slightly counter - but less than -10 km/s - before RF. Little change was observed with RF. Increased to about +20 km/s during H-mode.

For 1.4 MW the threshold occurred with ssep between +1 and +2 mm. Though small, this difference gave repeatable results,.indicating how sensitive the threshold is to the topology. With this geometry, vphi was -20 km/sec in target plasma. Rotation increased with RF and was slightly co at the time of transition.

Session Leader's Run Summary for 1040507B:
MP396: "Edge Pedestal Scaling at lower B"
PO: E. Marmar
SL: J. Hughes

BACKGROUND:

This run was intended to examine the scalings of H-mode pedestal
parameters, and the associated H-mode regimes, at fields lower than
those routinely exploited on Alcator C-Mod. Previous data analysis
performed on EDA H-modes had suggested a trend toward wider n_e
pedestals as Bt (or possibly q95) was lowered. The tuning of the
J-port antenna to 50MHz allowed for near-axis D-H minority heating at
fields from 2.9--3.8T, while 80MHz ICRF could still be used in the
4.6--6.0T range. Using both sets of antennae, we potentially could
compare discharges differing by a factor of 2 in Bt using identical
auxiliary heating mechanisms. At each field, current should be varied,
giving values of q95 from approximately 3 to 9.

PLAN:

Begin with 2.8T and 3.4T shots established both during run 1040506
(MP370) and 1040507A. Fill in Bt/Ip phase space with as many of the
data points called for in the mini-proposal as time will allow:

Bt=3.4T, Ip=0.5,0.8MA
Bt=2.9T, Ip=0.5,0.8MA
Bt=3.8T, Ip=0.5,0.8MA
Bt=5.3T, Ip=0.5,0.8,1.2MA
Bt=6.0T, Ip=0.5,0.8,1.2MA
Bt=4.6T, Ip=0.5,0.8,1.2MA

RESULTS:

RF power was restricted today, due to technical problems with D-port
and the J3 transmitter. However, we were able to routinely obtain
between 1 and 1.5MW from either E-port or J4. Because of a reasonable
rep rate and 100% machine and RF reliability, a number of H-modes, and
accompanying edge Thomson profiles, were obtained over a wide range of
conditions, with Bt ranging from 3.0 to 5.3T and Ip from 0.5 to
1.2MA. D-H minority heating was accomplished with J4 at fields below
4.5T, and with E-port at fields above. E-port tripped badly at high
Bt and low Ip (a feature which Y. Lin knew about from previous scans),
and appeared to heat less effectively than J-port operating at similar
power levels with a D-He3 resonance (see shot 034, where both E and J
fire, but only J triggers an H-mode). A number of H-modes were ohmic,
a result of the lower fields and often high currents.

H-modes typically were short and ELM-free (though some showed a faint
QC mode on PCI), even at higher q. This is perhaps due to relatively
low pedestal densities. Because the H-modes were short, the Thomson
data are sparser than desired, making for dicier analysis. It is also
not clear how these largely non-EDA data are expected to compare with
scalings previously established for EDA H-modes. As for observable
trends, density pedestals tended to increase with plasma current, to
the surprise of no one, and at lower Ip, the n_e gradient tends to be
smaller. Differences in profile characteristics due to Bt are harder
to pick out without first doing a systematic analysis of the data
collected. At first glance it appears that the density pedestal was
not significantly widened by moving to lower field (or safety factor),
but a definite conclusion awaits further analysis. A detailed shot log
follows.

Much thanks to Earl Marmar for his expert operation of the machine,
and to Yijun Lin for providing reliable RF.

Session Leader: Greenwald
Phys Op: Marmar

Background:


Recent work has revealed a connection between self-generated core and SOL flows, topology and the
L/H threshold [1,2]. The work has suggested a novel
hypothesis for the dependence of the H-mode power threshold on the $\nabla$B
drift direction. This 0$^{th}$ order effect, which roughly doubles the required
power to acheve H-mode when the ion drift is in the direction away from a single null x-point,
may be understood as the result of two rotation components which add or
subtract depending on topology. The first is SOL flow which is driven in a direction determined by topology
as parallel transport attempts to symmetrize poloidally
asymmetric cross-field transport (ballooning) and which
couples across the separatrix into the core plasma. The second is topology independent
and increases (increments) monotonically in the co-current
direction as the plasma pressure increases. The H-mode threshold could then be understood
as a critical edge flow (or flow gradient) which requires very different input powers in the
two cases.

For the conditions studied, 0.8 MA, 5.4 T and 1.2-1.6 x 10$^{20}$, the transition occurs when
core toroidal rotation reaches about 0 for USN, LSN and DN plasmas. (In contrast to input
power or edge temperature which vary strongly with topology. [3]) To make a connection
to the broader issues of the L/H threshold, we would like to determine if this picture holds
for other plasma conditions and particularly to measure dependence on parameters which are known to
be important for the L/H power threshold, namely n and B.


Plan:

We're going to try to do both mp 385 and 396 - at least as far as we can with the power available at 50 MHz.

We'll start with 1040506023 and try to get a decent H-mode. The RF pulse should start at the beginning of the TF flat-top ~ 0.8 sec.

Variations on this theme:

1. adjust the power to get good threshold discharges
2. go to max power to get the best h-modes for the pedestal scaling
3. if there is sufficient headroom in the RF power, vary density or topology and get a higher power threshold point.
4. ditto, but vary Bt to get additional pedestal data.
5. get matching data (same q, etc) at 80 MHz.

Though small, this difference gave repeatable results,.indicating

vphi was -20 km/sec in target plasma. Rotation increased with RF and
