Successful day for WASP and probes: 27 plasmas. Covered pretty much all of days 1 and 2 for MP 480, and bits of day 3 as well. The major exception was USN at high density which repeatedly MARFEd and failed to provide useful data. We often slipped higher than target density by ~1e19 and omitted 1.2e20 density shots. No major functionality issues for probes, except some late arcing on ASP and premature time-out of WASP. These did not affect the data.

The machine operated quite well today, with lots of switching among SNL, SNU and DN topologies, including ssep scans from lower through double to upper null. The probes were probing on all plasma shots (see SL summary). There was a computer problem after shot22, and shot 23 did not proceed smoothly through init, leading to a no-power shot. Starting with shot 16, we again encountered the "afternoon fizzle syndrome", and got into a mode with nearly alternating fizzles and plasmas. Tweaks to fill and fields did not seem to help much (or hurt), except for a BR_0 offset scan that I think went to far in the negative direction for shot 32. Scorecard: Plasmas 27 Fizzles 8 no power 1 total cycles 36

Session Leader Comments
May 11 2007 09:12:21:470AM	1070511001	Noah Smick	Re-load shot 1070404030 with seg 2, similar to shot 1070404026. All probes: 3 small pulses at 0.7,0.9,1.1 WASP 5V. NINJA not puffing. Result: Probes working, need to plunge deeper. Gaps look good, density looks good.
May 11 2007 09:22:52:430AM	1070511002	Noah Smick	Same configuration. All probes: 3 pulses at 0.7,0.9,1.1 WASP 14.5V. NINJA puffing after 1.1. Result: Probes working. need 1-1.5 mm deeper on WASP

We think it's real, and we saw it on a number of previous shots today. It's not exactly at the DNB targeting point. Next shot: same topology; decrease nl_04 to 0.6e20 m-2. Also change SSEP programming so that we go farther into upper null.
