MP464 The purpose of this run will be to determine what conditions are necessary for sucessful coupling into ICRH plasmas with J and E antennae. Plasma from 1070426017. LH launcher at 1.5mm behind limiter, and mechanical phase shifters 90deg co-current drive. 1) Start with J-port antenna power scan. Turn on J at 1MW at .7sec, then increase to 1.5MW at .9sec, then 2MW at 1.1sec. LH on at .7sec. Start with 50kW per klystron for a 500ms pulse @ 60deg. 1b) Repeat same, but increase LH power by 50kW per klystron with each shot until we cannot increase power. (~5 shots total) 1c) If we cannot couple at low ICRF power, try inner wall diverted plasma to increase outer edge density. 2) Repeat 1 with E-port antenna.

This morning was a run in support of MP464 (LH Coupling Optimization) and MP473 (LH System Check-out). The purpose of the run was to determine the best conditions for joint operation of LH and the J-port ICRF antenna. After several disruptions early on, we got reliable plasma operation. Arcing occured early in each pulse in waveguides 9&10, probably in the jungle gym between the JG couplers and the intermediate couplers. The problem went away after a trip and retry in most shots. The LH system then ran smooth after the first trip in most shots until the density dropped due to ICRF, which caused intrinsic reflections to rise, thus tripping out the CPS system. WG 8T in particular was causing difficulties---an attenuator was added after shot 13 to help things run more smoothly. Some conditioning of the klystrons was required after tripping out at 26kV on shots 9&10. The problem cropped up again later in the day around shot 20. During the "clean" parts of operation with ICRF we saw reflections ~20%, followed by a rise in reflection as the density dropped. Higher density shots showed strong signs of PDI, ~20dB down from fundamental. Also observed symmetric sidebands at +/- 80MHz from the fundamental.

The purpose of this run was to perform fast square-wave modulation (12.5 ms on, 12.5 ms off) of LH at various plasma conditions to measure LH-drive fast electron diffusion. The LH system was having problems today and unfortunately, we were only able to obtain data at 2 plasma conditions: Ip=500 kA and Ip=800 kA for nl04=5e19, B=5.4 T, 90 deg ideal LH phasing, ~400+ kW LH power. The two successful shots were 16 (800 kA) and 17 (500 kA).

Run was divided between Greg Wallace (LH coupling into H-Mode) and Andrea Schmidt (LH fast electron confinement). Machine ran well for Greg, however holding the density at the grill during ICRF, particularly H-Modes continues to be a problem. Typically LH runs well with good coupling until ICRF turns on. Density at the grill drops leading to loss of coupling and tripout of LH due to high reflection. It seems clear that gas puffing near the grill will be needed to solve this problem. It is particularly accute when H-Modes form. Two good shots were obtained for Andrea using modulated LH power. On shot 18 we tried to form a 500 kA shot at nel04=1e20, however the shot disrupted. The same result occured on shot 20. Raising the current to 800 kA on shot 21 restored the shot but the LH transmitter faulted. This turned out to be due to tube A3V2 which could not hold 50 kV voltage. About 2 hours was spent trying to condition the tube but without success. Finally we ran the last shot for pellet injection, but alas it fizzled. Overall the machine and related systems ran well except for early shots where the plasma disrupted well into the shot. This seemed to be due to an interference with the ICRF at high power and the control system. The work around was to limit the ICRF power from J port to 2 MW and this got us through. But the problem still needs to be addressed Scorecard: We ran a total of 22 shots with good startup on all but 2, one of which fizzled and the other had no commutation. There were 3 disruptions due to the RF interference problem and 2 more due to high density operation at low current.

Session Leader Comments
Apr 27 2007 09:12:41:940AM	1070427001	Greg Wallace	LH fired at 0s due to operator error. Repeat on next shot at .7s as originally planned.
Apr 27 2007 09:34:20:307AM	1070427002	Greg Wallace	LH fired at .7s as requested. Many trips but two sustained periods with power on with ICRF at 1 and 1.5MW on J. Coupling was not bad (~20% reflections) during second pulse. Higher reflections during first pulse on bottom rows. Try same shot again without late ICRF from E port to prevent another disruption?
Apr 27 2007 09:56:54:003AM	1070427003	Greg Wallace	Another disruption. Steve Wolfe is looking into the cause. Nearly identical LH response as last shot. Coupling doesn't look too bad at 1 and 1.5MW on J, but tripping is due to what appears to be arc in waveguide 9. Next shot will turn off ICRF to prevent disruption and turn power down to 40kw on klystron 5.
Apr 27 2007 10:07:18:210AM	1070427004	Greg Wallace	No ICRF on this shot. Arcing in jungle gym on klystron 5 during first part of pulse. Trips out, then turns on clean. The problem appears to be getting better due to conditioning. Next shot will have same LH power with steady 1MW of ICRF from J.
Apr 27 2007 10:20:38:010AM	1070427005	Greg Wallace	No disruption with steady 1MW from J. LH had early arcing on channel 9 & 10, but went away after trip and retry. LH tripped out and did not turn on after 1s; likely cause appears to be loss of density in front of grill which caused poor overall coupling. Next shot will have same LH programming (continue with conditioning) and ICRF will step from 1 to 1.5MW at 1s.
Apr 27 2007 10:35:21:300AM	1070427006	Greg Wallace	Shot ran without disruption with 1-1.5MW from J ICRF. No nonthermal signs on loop voltage or ECE, and very big PDI on this shot and shot 5. Decreasing density should help accessability and PDI. Next shot will be same for LH and ICRF, but decreasing density to 6e19 on nl_04.
Apr 27 2007 11:14:57:500AM	1070427007	Greg Wallace	Again, arcing in WG 9&10 during first part of pulse, cleaned up by trip and retry. Second part of pulse tripped when density decreased rapidly. Next shot will increase power on other waveguides while keeping power level on klystron 5 same.
Apr 27 2007 11:07:25:390AM	1070427008	Greg Wallace	LH started shot clean, then some arcing in channel 9&10 at 750ms. Clean after trip and retry. Still having density drop during later part of pulse which causes high intrinsic reflection and subsequent tripping. Next shot will ramp LH power to try to avoid the arcing in channel 9&10.
Apr 27 2007 11:11:41:077AM	1070427009	Greg Wallace	No LH. Repeat for next shot.
Apr 27 2007 11:30:02:397AM	1070427010	Greg Wallace	No LH again. Still seems to be a TPS problem.
Apr 27 2007 12:27:39:390PM	1070427011	Greg Wallace	LH ran clean until 800ms. At this point density had dropped too much and tripped because of high intrinsic reflection on WG8T. Next shot will move ICRF back by 200ms to see if we can run longer pulse.
Apr 27 2007 12:44:44:457PM	1070427012	Greg Wallace	More trips from 8T, even with ICRF off during first part of LH pulse. Looks like we need to change the trip level on that channel.
Apr 27 2007 12:55:33:337PM	1070427013	Greg Wallace	LH trip before ICRF turns on. Short retry pulse during ICRF but trips out again as density drops. Next shot will decrease outer gap from 7mm to 3mm to try to keep density up in front of grill. Cell access to change trip level on waveguide 8T.
Apr 27 2007 01:20:13:940PM	1070427014	Greg Wallace	Ran clean until 980ms, then tripped due to drop in density at grill. Next shot will be Andrea's fast electron diffusion measurements.
Apr 27 2007 03:14:17:013PM	1070427015	Andrea Schmidt	nl04=5e19, Ip=800, LH modulation (lots of trips)
Apr 27 2007 03:14:32:107PM	1070427016	Andrea Schmidt	nl04=5e19, Ip=800, LH modulation (no trips)
Apr 27 2007 03:14:46:170PM	1070427017	Andrea Schmidt	nl04=5e19, Ip=500, LH modulation (no trips)
Apr 27 2007 03:15:34:013PM	1070427018	Andrea Schmidt	nl04=1e20, Ip=500, disruption before LH
Apr 27 2007 03:16:05:157PM	1070427019	Andrea Schmidt	??? no plasma
Apr 27 2007 03:15:47:437PM	1070427020	Andrea Schmidt	nl04=1e20, Ip=500, disruption before LH
Apr 27 2007 03:17:53:297PM	1070427021	Andrea Schmidt	nl04=1e20, Ip=800 kA, plasma back, no LH. Next shot same, with LH (hopefully).

This is plan for MP 473 and MP 464 part of run. If good LHCD conditions can be established, proceed to MP 468 in afternoon.
Apr 27 2007 09:16:19:360AM	1070427001	Ron Parker	First shot started up well, but disrupted at 1.37 s-- maybe due to ICRF @ 2.5 MW from J-port. LH fired at t=0, operator error. Next shot may fizzle.
Apr 27 2007 09:16:39:470AM	1070427001	Ron Parker	Good morning, all systems functioning, first shot should be punctual.
Apr 27 2007 09:30:57:757AM	1070427002	Ron Parker	Shot 2 started well, but again disrupted after turnon of ICRF on E-port. LH trips many times, and steady phases last only ~ 100 ms. Interesting sidebands, both due to ICRF (symmetric) and probably PDI (asymmetric). Next, turn E-port off, limit J to 2 MW.
Apr 27 2007 09:55:33:110AM	1070427003	Ron Parker	Shot again starts well, but disrupts at the same time as earlier shots. Steve thinks spurious signal from ICRF may get into EF controller. We'll hold shot while trouble shooting. Next shot, we'll hold the ICRF off.
Apr 27 2007 10:07:28:193AM	1070427004	Ron Parker	Shot 4 ran well, no disruption: ICRF pickup seems to be the problem. Less than .1 V loop voltage drop due to LH @ n_eL(4)=0.75e20. Next: run ICRF at 1 MW steady from J port, 0.7-1.2 s
Apr 27 2007 10:37:01:377AM	1070427005	Ron Parker	Shot 5 ran well, no disruption. Seems to confirm that ICRF was triggering disruption.
Apr 27 2007 10:23:22:887AM	1070427006	Steve Wolfe	Shot#6: No pcs changes that I know of. Ron's out of the room so I pushed the button.
Apr 27 2007 10:35:40:800AM	1070427006	Ron Parker	Shot 6 ran through. LH had multiple faults, ICRF stayed on, 1.5 MW peak. Try to lower density (set at 0.6e20) on next shot.
Apr 27 2007 10:50:13:087AM	1070427007	Ron Parker	Shot 7 went off well, but LH had multiple trips. Next: raise power to see if LH would increase grill density and improve coupling.
Apr 27 2007 10:57:57:103AM	1070427008	Ron Parker	Shots keep coming, but LH has trouble staying on. Next: try power ramp.
Apr 27 2007 11:11:52:733AM	1070427009	Ron Parker	Shot 9 ran well. No LH -- Transmitter arc detection faults.
Apr 27 2007 11:41:26:603AM	1070427010	Ron Parker	Shot 10 ran OK, but LH again has a problem with tripout of the transmitter. There will be delay, hopefully short, while the problem is trouble shot.
Apr 27 2007 12:46:31:647PM	1070427013	Ron Parker	Shots 11-13 ran well, but with LH coupling problems. Even without the ICRF, we are getting LH tripouts. After shot 13, we have decided to have a cell access to adjust the LH trip levels.
Apr 27 2007 02:40:46:987PM	1070427014	Ron Parker	Shot 14 ran well. LH good until ICRF came on.
Apr 27 2007 02:41:09:300PM	1070427015	Ron Parker	Shot 15 ran OK, Andrea SL. LH coupling poor.
Apr 27 2007 02:36:37:547PM	1070427016	Ron Parker	Shot 16 ran well, Andrea got data at 800 kA.
Apr 27 2007 02:34:42:873PM	1070427017	Ron Parker	Shot 17 ran well, good data for Andrea at 500 kA.
Apr 27 2007 05:10:07:200PM	1070427017	Ron Parker	Shot 17 was a good shot @ 500 kA with good LHRF pulses.
Apr 27 2007 02:33:32:453PM	1070427018	Ron Parker	Shot 18 disrupted early ,too fast a density rise (to 1e20 on m_el04.
Apr 27 2007 05:07:14:887PM	1070427019	Ron Parker	Shot 19 did not commutate, no plasma.
Apr 27 2007 05:11:47:200PM	1070427020	Ron Parker	Shot 20 disrupted, probably too much density at too low current (early on).
Apr 27 2007 05:14:13:857PM	1070427021	Ron Parker	Back to 800 kA for shot 21. Shot ran well but no RF due to tube HV problem (Cart 3, tube 2)
Apr 27 2007 05:04:58:307PM	1070427022	Ron Parker	Shot 22 (for Brock) fizzled.
