Session Leader Plan for Run 1070828 MP 515: Effect of launched LH wave n_par spectrum on current profile Session Leader: J.R. Wilson Physop: R. Parker The purpose of these experiments is to investigate the effect of varying the launched n|| spectrum on the LH-perturbed current distribution in C-Mod plasmas. The measurements will be carried out in both Ohmic and ICRF-heated L-Mode plasmas, as well as in H-Mode plasmas providing suitable low density H-Modes can be produced. Overnight ECDC, usual formula. Power systems as on 1070827009 A-coil configuration: normal [Dtop -Dbot -Jtop +Jbot] and enabled. Gas Setup: fill B-Top with 6 psi D2 Hybrid enabled (PG4) fill B-side lower with 1 psi Ar Hybrid DISABLED (PG1) leave B-side upper as is Hybrid DISABLED (PG2) fill B-main (C-side) with 40 psi D2 Hybrid enabled (PG3) leave NINJA as is DISABLED Enable the following gate valves and shutters: ECE, VUV, Z-bolo shutters, NB Torvac setup: Gate valves open during pulse. ICRF: E-port ready at beginning of run; also J-port if feasible Starting shot: 1070827009 Following the advice of the EPC, we'll concentrate on n|| scans in the run: Shots 1-5: Establish 800 kA, 5.4 T, 5e19 m-3 discharge. Couple �?�500 kW LHCD @ n|| = 1.6. Ensure plasma stays in L-Mode with available ICRF power (J-port preferred but if not, E-port is OK), Optimize shape for coupling. Shots 6-10: No ICRH. Obtain good quality MSE and IXS data on shot established in shots 1-5. Shots 11-15: Repeat shots 6-10 with ICRH = 1 MW and higher if available. Shots 16-20: Couple �?�500 kW LHCD @ n|| = 2.3. No ICRH. Obtain good quality MSE and IXS data. Shots 21-25: Repeat shots 16-20 with 1 MW and higher if available, avoiding H-Mode. Shots 25 - end of run: Repeat above shot sequence beginning with shot 16, with n|| = 3.1. Note: If ICRF part of plan is unproductive, stick with Ohmic and increase n to 8e19 m-3.

The purpose of the run was to drive current with LH waves launched at various n_par's, and to measure the resulting current profile, to the extent possible, with MSE. As usual hard X-Rays were monitored and their profiles will be compared with the j-profile inferred from MSE. The run was partially successful, with LHCD applied to both 800 kA and 1 MA discharges. The density was kept low in order to maximize the driven current. The maximum coupled power was ~ 700 kw, and the maximum deltaV/V was ~ 50%. It appeared that the driven current may have been somewhat closer to the edge than expected, judging from the rapid response of the loop voltage. It will be interesting to compare with shots from July 2006. Other effects noted: both stabilization and destabilization of a tearing mode, e.g., shot 4 where the TM was excited and shot 15 where a tearing mode seemed to be suppressed. (See entries under MHD by S. Wolfe). Also, in the case of the largest voltage drop, the sawtooth inversion radius contracted by 3-4 FRC channels . Complete sawtooth stabilization did not occur on any shot. The current drive efficiency seems to have degraded somewhat from last year. Thus, with 700 kW it was only possible to reduce the loop voltage by a factor of 2, whereas last year with 800 kW it was possible to at least transiently reverse the loop voltage. It may be that the n_par spectrum has been somewhat modified by the effects of many arcs during this campaign. Hopefully there will be an opportunity to measure the n_par spectrum if the launcher can be removed at the end of the campaign. One part of the MP was not accomplished, namely combining LHCD with ICRH and investigating the driven current profile at higher temperature. As anticipated, the ICRF caused a density rise that reduced LHCD efficiency and coupling. Next time this is attempted, the ICRF should be applied first and the outer gap adjusted for optimal coupling before turning on the LH. There was not sufficient time to try this in this run.

Session Leader Comments
Aug 28 2007 09:06:00:127AM	1070828001	Ron Parker	Randy is SL but I'll also make comments under SL in logbook. Note that Earl is PO. Starting with 85 kW per klystron, except 4&5 which are at 75 kW, and 90 deg ideal phasing.
Aug 28 2007 09:16:33:453AM	1070828001	J. Randall Wilson	450 kW LH from 0.7 to 1.0 sec next move to 0.9 to 1.2 s to help MSE
Aug 28 2007 09:19:06:770AM	1070828001	Ron Parker	Pretty good shot, LH did not trip, delta vloop ~ 0.2 V Next: move LH to 0.9 s starting time.
Aug 28 2007 09:39:43:397AM	1070828002	Ron Parker	Shot was OK, breakdown in WG 5 lower caused trip. Coupling was not as good as on first shot due to lower density at grill. Next: reduce outer gap by 4 mm.
Aug 28 2007 09:40:18:647AM	1070828002	J. Randall Wilson	moved to 0.9 s one drop-out on LH reflection higher due to lower density in front of grill but loop voltage drop as large
Aug 28 2007 10:04:12:710AM	1070828003	Ron Parker	Shot 3 was OK, but still one trip and breakdown in the launcher. Coupling better, but still 30% reflected power. DeltaV/V ~25%, but relatively fast response on loop voltage. No clear change on MSE.

Aug 28 2007 11:21:09:757AM	1070828008	Ron Parker	Pretty good shot, almost 600 kW coupled, no dropouts. Next: 1 MW from J port, 1-1.2 s.
Aug 28 2007 11:55:12:670AM	1070828009	Ron Parker	Shot 9 was good, clear MSE effect and no dropouts. Next: Can we get a little more power?
Aug 28 2007 12:08:37:767PM	1070828010	Ron Parker	Shot 10 had LH dropout, useful for MSE cmparison. Next: reduce klystron 8 power by 15 kW

Aug 28 2007 12:32:29:993PM	1070828012	Ron Parker	Shot 12 had 1 MW ICRH, but LH tripped out possibly due to H-Mode.
Aug 28 2007 12:54:23:590PM	1070828013	Ron Parker	ICRF again tripped out LH. Next: 75 deg phasing, no ICRH

Aug 28 2007 03:06:10:400PM	1070828023	Ron Parker	Shot 23 was a good shot, but LHCD was weak! Maybe due to density rise.
