Plan for MP 451 - Structure and Stability of Large "Type 1" ELMs

There remains intense interest in the study of EM structure and dynamics, as evidenced by a session on that topic in the recent ITPA Pedestal meeting at MIT (April 10-12, 2006). Key questions that C-Mod results can help to answer (and which we propose to investigate with this mini-proposal) are:

What is the rotation direction (co- or counter-current) of the "primary" ELM relaxation pulse? MAST shows counter-current rotation, while JET sees
co-current.

Are C-Mod's discrete ELMs "Type 1"? This question is still unresolved.

How are ELMs simply a transient return to L-mode?

What is the typical number of "filaments" ejected during an ELM event? GPI measurements on C-Mod indicate 2-5, while on MAST the number is 10-15.

What is the energy analysis of C-Mod's typical ELM in this operational space? So far we have very little information on this crucial aspect of ELMs.

What is the dependence of ELM structure on q95? Most of our discrete ELM discharges (unaccompanied by EDA) are with similar external parameters.

Is there any evidence of ELM filaments at the inboard midplane? We propose to use the inboard GPI views to see if ELM filaments connect to the inboard midplane.

Does increasing the magnitude of the outer gap improve the chances of seeing the filaments on the fast-framing camera? MAST has at least a 15 cm outer gap.

To invetigate these questions and to look again at the structure of the C-Mod ELMs and the ELM precursor, we propose:

1) overnight ECDC with He
NINJA fill with 10 psi D2
Load shot 1050623033
RF 0N at 0.7s at 3 MW - OFF at 1.2 s.
NINJA puff at A-B limiter, initially

2) With well-boronized walls, load shot 1050623033 (Ip=0.9 MA, target density NL_04=5e19 m-2, lower triangularity=0.78, ICRF power 3 MW, but with Bt=5.6T instead of 5.4T for FRC-ECE)
- produce discrete ELMs (3 shots - with the GPI fast-diodes looking at the outboard views (poloidal and radial resolution)

3) Repeat with increased ICRF power - up to max available (2 shots)

4) Repeat with decreased ICRF power - 2 MW (2 shots)

5) Repeat at optimum RF power level (3 additional shots for Edge TS profile statistics and for images of ELM structure as observed by fast-camera)

6) Increase the outer gap to 2.1 cm (from 1.1 cm) by reducing the inner gap from 2.4 to 1.4 cm. Reduce the R location of the X-pt by 1 cm as well, keeping the lower triangularity constant. (This is in order to put the inboard separatrix within the field-of-view of the inboard fast diode array.) (2 shots)

7) If ELMs are produced at these gaps, then repeat (at optimum RF power level) for fast-diode views
switched to include the inboard radial array (5 shots) - NINJA puff at inner midplane, not at A-B limiter

8) Begin q scan, by repeating (at optimum RF power level, optimum gaps) with at Ip=0.7 MA (q95=4.5) with fast-diode views switched back to outboard views only (4 shots)

9) Repeat (at optimum RF power level) with at Ip=1.1 MA (q95=2.9) (4 shots)


Key diagnostics:

Dα fast-diode arrays with GPI,
fast magnetics (with 10 MHz digitization rate starting at 0.7 s),
ECE - especially FRCECE with high resolution in the pedestal,
Edge TS,
DALSA VB profiles (will turn-off A-B limiter NINJA puff on some shots),
PCI,
divertor probes with 1MHz digitization rate,
PSI4 fast camera with wide-angle view

We accomplished very little of the MP (#451).
Although occasional discrete ELMs were
produced, they were not "high quality", i.e.
did not have the signature of a sharp crash
and gradual recovery. On the last two shots,
however, 1060503022 and 023, good ELMs were produced.
The reason(s) for this are not at all clear. The RF
waveform was somewhat cleaner, but otherwise the parameters
appear to have been the same as previous shots.

We were not able to do a ICRF power scan because
the RF was limited to 2.3 MW (except for the last shot)
and there were multiple faults per RF pulse.

We tried the 3 plasma currents specified in the MP
(0.7, 0.9, 1.1 MA), but the number of ELMs was so few that
it is hard to see what effect the change in current made.
(0.7 MA plasmas yielded no ELMs). The two shots with good ELMs
had Ip=0.9 MA.

We were not able to look for ELMs on the inboard
midplane, because I was not confident enough in
producing ELMs to switch to the inboard-SOL-views.

We may have succeeded in getting measurements of
the ELM energy loss, with good Edge TS, good ECE, and
good VB profile data.

The fast magnetics and the fast-diodes were fine, but there
are only a handful of ELMs to analyse. The PSI4 fast camera
got data during three ELMs, having been triggered by the
ELM trigger system. The shots for which camera images
during the ELM were obtained were:

007
009
023

The shots for which ELMs were observed:

002 - some poor ELMs starting at 0.832s (Ip=0.9)
003 - some poor ELMs starting at 0.808s (Ip=0.9)
005 - poor ELM at 0.817s (Ip=0.9)
006 - some poor ELMs starting at 1.23s during ohmic H-mode (thru 1.5 s)(Ip=0.9)
007 - poor ELMs starting at 0.844s, lasting thru ohmic H-mode (thru 1.5 s)(Ip=0.9)
008 - OK ELMs starting at 0.87s (clear signature on magnetics)(Ip=0.9)
009 - OK ELMs starting at 0.92s (Ip=0.9 - moved plasma in)
010 - OK ELMs starting at 0.92s, lasting thru ohmic H-mode (thru 1.5 s) (Ip=0.9)
019 - possible ELM at 0.879 s (Ip=1.1)
022 - best - ELMs starting at 0.82 s (Ip=0.9)
023 - good - ELMs starting at 0.77 s (Ip=0.9 max Prf=3.1 MW)

The machine ran pretty well today.

There was one 15 minute inter-shot boronization, after shot 10. During check on shot 11, the torus pressure had an excursion to 2e-4 (gauge), so we chose to take a no power shot. This was followed by 3 fizzles, with fill pressure tweaks. Making the EF4 bias 10 amps more positive was followed by plasmas for the rest of the day.

Going up to 1.1 MA got us into trouble with power supply limits in this funny shape (based on the match to JFT-2M) and there were two which disrupted after 1.3 seconds (shots 20 and 21).

See the session leader summary for details on the ELM quest, but shots 22 and 23 appeared to be the best of the day from this point of view. The between-shot boronization appeared to have completely worn off, but nevertheless the confinement was, at least transiently, quite good on shot 22, with a steady 2 MW of RF power.

Scorecard:

Plasmas 19
fizzles 3
no power 1

Total cycles 23

Ip=1.1 MA plasma (PRF=2.2 MW). Very weak H-mode, with
a few ELMs after 1.05 sec - just before dithers.

There was no NINJA puff, so maybe we were below the
H-mode low density threshold.


May 4 2006 04:16:15:173PM1060503022Jim Terrydrop back to 0.9 MA (PRF=2.2 MW).

Good - many ELMs - best yet
Great magnetics data.
There was no NINJA puff, so maybe we were below the
H-mode low density threshold on the last shot.
Got VB profile data for ELM energy analysis.

For the energy analysis we note:
the smallish ELM at 0.834 s had an Edge TS pulse in
the middle of the crash! The pedestal is
definitely NOT being dstroyed as would be expected
in a Type I ELM. Within the laser pulse-to-laser pulse scatter in the
data the effect of the ELM is not significant.
When the continuously recording channels of the
GPC ECE (channel 8) and the FRC-ECE the effects
of the ELM chrash on the temperature are a
~10% drop. The FRC-ECE does not see a sharp pedestal
(optical depth issue perhaps?). Nonetheless there are
non-thermal features on the channels outside the crash
radius and the Te drop propagates inward from the
crash radius (in the pedestal - channel #6 and at the
top of the pedestal channel #7).
(use the scope /home/lynn/scopes/frcece_fast_data.dat)
