Run Plan for 1050623: MP 397 Comparison of C-Mod EDA regime with
JFT2M HRS regime

Session Leader: Amanda Hubbard
Physics Operator: Bill Rowan

Purpose: This run follows a boronization carried out overnight on
6/21. We aim to complete the q and ne scans for this MP. Specific goals are:

1) Repeat moderately high ne shots in JFT2M shape from 1050407,
q95=3.5 (unboronized run), to enable direct
comparison with that run, and with 1040416. Expect to
reestablish EDA H-mode as in 1040416.

2) Raise q95 to 4.8 (Ip about 655 kA). Carry out density scan,
starting at higher densities, with some puffing as needed and
tolerated by J-port. Then reduce target ne shot to shot.
Establish boundaries for EDA, ELMy and perhaps large
ELM operation.

3) Return to q95 = 3.5. Repeat lowest density shots), try to reestablish large ELMs as in 1040416024,26. This
would help establish the conditions for later carrying out MP 426
(Hubbard, Terry et al, Structure and stability of Type I ELMs)

4) Fill in some missing points in ne scan at q_95=2.9


Run Plan:

1) Start with shape, density programming from 1050407017, 5.4 T, 900
kA, target 9e19 m-3.
Add 3 MW RF. Document H-mode type, fluctuations (hopefully EDA). Compare
pedestal density to that of 1040416011 (ne_95=1.85e20 m-3).
Adjust target if necessary to match. (3 shots)

2) Lower Ip to 655 kA. Adjust Ip as needed to get q_95=4.8 (3 shots).

3) Density scan. Start by raising ne, puffing during pulse.

Then reduce ne shot to shot, to lowest target at which we see H-modes.
Step RF during pulse: 2 MW, 3 MW, 4 MW (if avail). Monitor edge
pedestals (Edge TS, ECE), edge fluctuations (PCI, reflectometry if
available), ELMs (D_alpha, magnetics), radiation profiles (bolos)
(~10+ shots).
If needed, use between shot ECDC to keep H/D below 5%.

4) Return to q=3.5, low density (target ~4e19 m-2), high power.
Spend several shots trying to get large ELMs. If successful,
repeat for good ETS data, and get ELM sizes for Jim.

5) Time permitting, go to q_95=2.9, 1.12 MA. Fill in some points on last
year's density scan, in particular at high density (target ~1.2
e20 m-2) and power, and at lowest density (target < 6e19 m-3);
prior run on 1040416 had a rather limited ne range.

Results:

A fairly successful and interesting run. We had time to cover the
first three points above. It is worth noting the recent conditioning
history: A boronization was carried out overnight on 6/21, followed
by a half day of fiducial discharges. However, we covered a smaller
area, and with a lesser amount of boron than usual; in retrospect this
seems to have been less than optimal for H-mode conditions.

Started with q95=3.5, fairly high densities (target ~9e19 m-2).
However, this led torather high neutral pressure, and J-port had trouble coupling, leading
to low ~ 1 MW powers (shots 1-7), and correspondingly cold edges,
frequent back-transitions. Shot 4 did exhibit a distinct, typical QC
mode at 130 kHz, though conditions were not completely steady and
confinement was poor. Shot 5, which had only 1 MW (very cold edge,
Te95 ~300-350 eV) has steady ne but no apparent ELMs or strong coherent
mode (a very weak one visible on PCI at ~130 kHz) . The best shot was
#7, with a period of 3.5 MW Rf, fairly steady until impurity
injections occurred. QC mode was still quite weak. We decided not to
spend too many shots at this q95, which was well documented in
1040416.

Shots 8-24 were spent on the main objective of the day, a density scan
at high q, ~ 630 kA. Target density started at 10^20 m-2 (at which
J-port again had difficult staying on),and was progressively reduced to
3e19 m-2 (at which there were large impurity injections, and a delayed
H-mode). A few shots (15, 17,18) had lower than programmed ne due to
TCI feedback
problems. At the higher densities, we got long, steady H-modes which
globally looked like EDA, but without a coherent mode visible on PCI -
shots 8-14. This deserves more quantitative analysis of fluctuation
spectra; by eye, there seemed to be higher than usual levels of
broadband turbulence, Shot 16, with lower target nel6e19 m-2, gave the
clearest example of a QC mode in this series. At the lower densities
(19,20, 21) it became intermittent and the H-modes less steady, as is
typical. Labelling the regimes is going to be tricky. Shot 23 was
the lowest density sustained H-Mode. After a brief transient, it
developed a very cold edge ~300 eV, and small (Type III?) ELMs or
dithers; conditions did not seem suitable for reaching pressure
limits.

Shots 25-33 were spent on Goal 3, revisiting the conditions which had
previously produced large ELMs at q_95=3.5, low nu*. While we did not
achieve the long, sustained periods of ELMs seen on 1040416, we did
achieve transient periods with the needed high pedestal temperatures
(~700-800 eV) and low densities (~1.2e20 m-3). Under these
conditions, a series of discrete ELMs were reproducibly seen. Good
examples are shots 28,29,31 and 33, around 0.76-0.8 seconds. Jim
Terry was able to trigger his fast camera on several of these, which
bodes well for a future dedicated run. And, Joe Snipes measured clear
MHD precursors. Later in these discharges, the edge was much colder,
and confinement poor; there were D-alpha spikes but likely not the
same cause; probably dithers/back-transitions. But MHD signatures were
similar, bears further investigation. The conditions for low nu* were
close to the low density limit for H-mode; shots 30 and 32 remained in
L-Mode despite 3 MW of RF ; target nebar was ~8e19 m-2 on the L-mode
shots.

There are many data to analyse, and we hope they will be sufficient to
complete MP 397 and the ITPA Intermachine Experiment PEP-12. Results
will be presented at the IAEA on H-mode and Transport barriers,
St. Petursburg, Sept 2005. Effective remote participation of N. Oyama
and K. Kamiya from JAERI (see many logbook comments from them and
others), despite the 13 hour time difference (!) is gratefully acknowledged.

Results

Loaded segment 2 (the plasma for the experiment) from 1050407017. Loaded the
segment 1 (breakdown and current rise) from segment 1 of 1050622015, the last
full length shot from the day before the run.

For MP397, a shape similar to that used for the JFT2M HRS regime was generated.
The shape was setup during run 1050407. No changes to the shape were made
during the day. For the experiment, the RF target density was scanned for two
values of q_95.

In addition to MP397, the boron shaker was operated intermittently during
the run. The intent was for it to drop boron into the plasma during rampdown.
Also, pellets were fired into the rampdown on some shots.

A data cycle test before the start of the run indicated problems with the
data acquisition system. Due to this, the run started about 40
minutes late.

TCI density feedback control failed on a few shots. There were three duds.
Only minor changes were made to recover from the duds. Breakdown fields and
prefill for each dud was the same as for previous shots in which
plasma was produced. There were two shots with disruptions after 1s.

Session Leader Comments
Jun 23 2005 09:12:28:133AM1050623001Amanda HubbardMinor (I hope) delay to sort out computer, shot cycle issues.
Jun 23 2005 09:14:13:603AM1050623001 OyamaWe are ready to join the experiment.
Good luck in fixing the problem.
Jun 23 2005 09:41:00:270AM1050623002Amanda HubbardShot OK. RF has trouble coupling (only 1 MW), get short H-modes , low ne rise.

Retune RF, and double-check shape.
Jun 23 2005 09:56:00:333AM1050623003Amanda HubbardShape is good, identical to 1050407. RF still not staying on, only ~0.7 MW sustained.

Note we are getting an ohmic H-mode at 0.57 secs. Followed by a series of short H-modes, with Prad rising rapidly, clear back-transitions which destroy pedestal.
This isn't what we were expecting at this condition...

Try again for more RF.
Jun 23 2005 10:01:14:207AM1050623003 OyamaSome pulse in Dalpha intensity were observed.
Are they ELMs? or just back transition?

Jun 23 2005 10:27:06:143AM1050623004Amanda Hubbard
Better, got a longer first H-mode, and 3 MW RF for part of the time though still many trips. Note Prad rise correlated with J-port. Leads to H-L at 0.9 secs.

Strong QC mode seen throughout H-mode on PCI.

Raise target nel from 0.9 to 1.0e20 m-2 for next shot.
Jun 23 2005 10:24:26:957AM1050623005Amanda HubbardHigher ne gave a much longer, steadier H-mode (no ohmic H-mode).
But, J-port did not stay on, (brief 3 MW RF, then 1 MW). As a result, cool edge
Te95 240 eV. nel 1.0 to 1.45 e20 m-2, steady. Could be interesting high nu* case. Very weak QC mode compared to previous shot.

Repeat for higher RF power.
Jun 23 2005 10:36:58:393AM1050623006Amanda HubbardSimilar to shot 5. Long, steady H-mode. 1.2 MW from D and E, J does not stay on.
May be a neutral pressure issue.

Give it one more try.

Weak QC mode, ~ 140 kHz.
ne95 3e20 m -2, Te95 ~350 eV.
Jun 23 2005 10:54:51:143AM1050623007Amanda HubbardBetter RF. First 100 ms had 3.4 MW. Prad was low, and Te95 higher (Te8 450 eV, YAG Te95~350 eV) unitl a big, unexplained injection at 0.79 secs.

Only a weak QC mode again, not sure why given the H-mode quite steady.

Next shot: Reduce Ip and target ne, go to h igh q95 part of run since that is what we most want today.
Jun 23 2005 11:13:37:253AM1050623008Amanda HubbardFirst shot at high q. Got 660 kA, q95=4.6

L-H at 0.8 secs. J-port doesn't stay on until then but D+E give steady 1.4 MW.

Long, steady H-mode. ne95 1.7e20, te95 300 eV, Te8 400 eV, Te9 290 eV

But, no apparent QC mode on PCI.
Jun 23 2005 11:44:40:863AM1050623010Amanda HubbardSimilar to shot 8. Long H-mode, very wimpy pedestal
Ip=640 kA, but q95 still 4.6.

1.5 MW, nothing from J. Seems to be a neutral pressure issue.
Reduce target ne for next shot.

ne, Te don't jump much at L-H. ne_95 ~1.7e20 m -2, Te_95~300 eV.

No QC mode!
Jun 24 2005 12:30:36:187PM1050623011Amanda HubbardLong H-mode, target 8e19 m-2. Brief 3.7 MW, then 1.5 MW.
Steady ne, nebar ~ 2.2e20.

QC mode not evident
Jun 23 2005 12:02:40:113PM1050623012Amanda HubbardRF better, got up to 4 MW but J still tripping. Te8 gets over 500 eV, Te95 up to 400, transiently.

Once again, ne pretty steady (nel~1.2e20, ne95 1.8e20) but no QC mode. What's controlling it?
Seems to be a general increase in bband fluctuation level in H-mode.

Lower J power next shot, try to get more steady.

Jun 23 2005 12:49:16:490PM1050623013Amanda Hubbard
The best shot yet today! Nice steady RF, 3.3 MW, and H-mode, between 0.7 and 0.9 secs. Target nel8e19, H-mode 1.22 m-2.


Jun 23 2005 12:39:38:427PM1050623014 OyamaRF coupling in 013 and 014 seems to be similar.
Do you think that higher target density make RF coupling bad again?

Jun 23 2005 02:46:22:333PM1050623014Amanda HubbardAnother good one. Quite steady RF, 3.4 MW, and H-mode. Target nel 7e19, H-mode 1.1 m-2.

Steady Te8 570 eV, Te95 ~ 400 eV, ne95 ~1.8e20.
Jun 23 2005 01:08:20:097PM1050623015Amanda HubbardDue to feedback prblems, target nel was low, 4e19 m-2.

RF, not surprisingly, was unhappy and tripped. Prad was rising rapidly.
Brief bursts of "QC" modes?
Jun 23 2005 12:53:06:817PM1050623016 OyamaMore visible QC mode was observed at f~110kHz than 013 and 014.

Jun 23 2005 01:06:54:003PM1050623016Amanda HubbardGood shot. Target 6.5e19 m-2, H-mode 1.05. 3 MW RF. Prad 1.9 MW (2pi foil, steady).

Again, nice steady H-mode, ne_95 ~1.6e20, Te_95 530 to 400.

A QC mode is visible for the first time in many shots. One wonders if it may have been masked by a general high turbulence level at higher ne; we'll need to compare spectra to check.
Jun 23 2005 01:15:40:050PM1050623017Amanda HubbardMore feedback prblems, target nel was low, 2.7 e19 m-2.

RF was pretty good, but there were many impurity injections, not steady.
Jun 23 2005 01:30:37:800PM1050623018Amanda HubbardAgain, TCI/ feedback prblems, target nel was low, 2.6 e19 m-2.

Big injection early, then fairly steady but little RF (1.5-2 MW, trips),

Note we have a series of smallish ELMs. What Type?
ne95~10^20 m-3, Te_95 600 to 500 eV. (Higher than usual for Type III, but then the ne is lower than we've tried before).

No evident QC mode.
Jun 23 2005 01:56:36:643PM1050623019Amanda HubbardBetter shot. Got the requested target density of 5e19 m-2.

RF 3 MW but trips, needs to tune. Did seem more ELM-free than shot 16, with some ELMy periods (large ones ~0.8 s, smaller ones from 0.9 to 1.1 secs)

In first H-mode, Te8 to 680 eV, Te95 ~600 eV, ne95 ~1.4e20.

Later, Te95 to 400 eV.

QC mode briefly visible ~0.76 secs, mostly absent.
Jun 23 2005 02:00:52:567PM1050623020 OyamaIntermittent QC mode was observed.
Jun 23 2005 02:06:25:003PM1050623020Amanda HubbardRepeat. Target density of 5.5 e19 m-2.
RF 3 MW, fewer trips. First H-mode looks ELM-free, Prad rising, ne rising. H-L at 0.81 when pedestal has eroded.

Later, get periodic, unsteady H-modes, maybe a few small ELMs.
Still some periods with QC mode visible, though we're likely pushing the low ne limit.


Repeat this condition, try for a little more RF to push pressure limit, reduce nu*.


Jun 23 2005 02:48:19:037PM1050623021Amanda HubbardTarget density of 5.5 e19 m-2. RF 3.7 MW, fewer trips.

First H-mode has hot edge, Te95 ~500 eV, but Prad rising. H transiently ~1.6.

Later, get steady 3.7 MW, higher nel but cold edge~350 eV, few small ELMs.
QC mode is still visible, stronger in later, colder, period.

Reduce target nel next shot, to 4e19 m-2. See if it persists or not.
Jun 23 2005 02:37:40:363PM1050623022Amanda HubbardTarget density of 4.5 e19 m-2. RF 3 MW, quite steady.

Edge Te briefly rises at L-H transition, but is quickly eroded by rising Prad. Te8 ~470 e, Te95~300 eV, ne95~1.5e20 m-3.

Seems to be quasi-steady, Type III ELM regime, not much prospect of raising P to get Type I ELMs.

Reduce target further for next shot.
Jun 23 2005 03:04:31:143PM1050623024Amanda HubbardNot a pretty plasma. Target 3e19 m-3. Large impurity influxes cool the edge, apparently preventing H-mode until nearly 1 second when ne is higher.

Sawteeth disappear around 0.8 secs, may be a locked mode.

This seems to be as low in ne as it is productive to go at this q.

Next shot, go back to 900 kA (q=3.5), low density ~5e19 m-2, look for large ELMs.
Jun 23 2005 03:23:30:490PM1050623025Amanda Hubbard

900 kA, q=3.4. Programmed target ne 5e19, got 6.5.

3 MW, some trips.

Initial hot edge (te8 540 eV) , but it cools quickly to near L-mode. Te95 370 eV. There are large D-alpha spikes ~1-1.2 s, but we think they are back-transitions. Also some activity around 0.85 secs.

Lower ne some more, pedestals are higher than on 1040416014
Jun 23 2005 03:40:03:630PM1050623026Amanda Hubbard900 kA, q=3.4. Programmed target ne 4e19, got 5.3.

3 MW, some trips.

Better. Starts with quite hot edge, and we do get a few ELMs ~0.78 secs that are reminiscent of those on 1040416024. But, edge cools afterward, subsequent ELMs are likely Type III or dithers.
Transient H~1.7 in hot period, only ~1.1 later.

ne_95~1.7, Te_95 ~500 eV, still denser and cooler than prior large ELMs but closer than shot 25.
No QC mode. Bursts of fluctuations in later period.

Repeat.
Jun 23 2005 04:47:34:207PM1050623028 OyamaI think that this shot is similar to 1050407019 under pre-bolonized condition in terms of pedestal parameters and behavior of D-alpha intensity.

Jun 24 2005 01:21:10:240PM1050623028Amanda Hubbard900 kA.

Target 5.5e19 m-2. RF 3 MW, one early trip. Te8 briefly 780 eV. ne_95 1.7620

5discrete ELMs in early period, 0.77- 0.8 secs. Te95 800, drops to 400 eV.

Leter, higher ne, edge cools, dithering.
Jun 24 2005 12:46:32:630PM1050623029Amanda HubbardTarget 4.3e19 m-2. Early RF 3 MW. Edge Te starts high, Te95 to 800 eV. Cools to ~ 400 eV for rest of shot, while ne_95 rises.

See a few discrete ELMs in early period, ~ 0.8 secs. Looks more like dithering in later period, when W is much lower.
Jun 23 2005 04:25:45:537PM1050623030Amanda HubbardGot target 3.5 e19 m-2. Apparently this is below the low density limit, got clean 3 MW RF but no H-mode. Raise target to level of shot 29.
Jun 23 2005 04:41:38:520PM1050623031Amanda HubbardRaised the target, got the H-mode and ELMs back. Joe is seeing clear MHD signals.

Te95 700 eV, ne95 1.4 e20.

Repeat for better camera data.
Jun 23 2005 04:53:32:550PM1050623032Amanda HubbardNominally a repeat of shot 31, but no H-mode this time. Must be very close to a limit.

Raise target slightly, repeat for last shot.
Jun 23 2005 05:02:07:190PM1050623033Amanda HubbardLast shot is good. Regained H-mode, and ELMs.

No ECE (I missed the gate valve). But Jim got camera data. Te95 to 800 eV
