SL Plan

Start with 1071213008 but with plasma current at 0.8 MA

Continue where we left off Thursday: high power fft operation and
condition the antennas and machine. We also will investigate the
limits on J antenna.

1. Overlap D and E antenna to condition antennas plus machine and
establish limits of FFTs in LSN discharges. J antenna will be
operated separately to establish its limits. The LH will be
injecting power as well but will need to monitor impurity
injections. Greg also has permission to inject gas in the edge for
testing and compatibility with ICRF.

2. Time permitting we will investigate higher and lower current
discharges to condition other surfaces.

We will modify discharge parameters as deemed necessary.

will be monitoring voltage and power limits
will adjust density and current to avoid J neutral pressure limit

Run Summary

J antenna 6" line was pumped out overnight to lower the RH. The RH is
now <1% and we did ~15 vacuum conditioning discharges before the run
where the voltage was improving with each shot. FMIT#4 had two
consecutive tube arcs and suggests the tube may have met its bitter
end. We turned J off after shot 004 and will investigate the screen
supply issue in the morning. If the screen supply can be fixed
tomorrow, we will test the transmitter into dummy load.

D antenna condition was degraded substantially since we last operated
the antenna. After about 6 discharges, D was well conditioned.
Operation in LSN discharges appeared more troublesome than USN. From
the LH langmuir probes, the density is higher at the probes for USN
than in LSN. Gas puffing without LH power did not drastically impact
RF operation in LSN, but a more sensitive experiment would be USN
discharges.

E antenna and the FFT system were tested into H-modes and we
characterized its voltage limits (~33 kV). Yijun identified a few
more 'features' in the FFT software and we will continue to work on
them.

Summary
_______

There was no problem with startup at all. This was my second run day in
two weeks with zero fizzles (the dud was a no-power shot).
Upper and lower null plasmas worked as required.
See session leader summary for what was accomplished on the RF conditioning, etc.

Physics Operator Comments

Dec 18 2007 08:51:33:870AM Ian Hutchinson Examining possible causes of Friday's fizzles.

1. Shot 20 was a disaster with many power supplies railing. It seems
plausible that it caused the upset that led to fizzles. One counterargument
is that shot 21 was a plasma. But its startup was crummy.

2. Bz ramp rate was substantially decreased even prior to plasma in shots
after 20.

3. Br was somewhat higher after shot 20.

Dec 18 2007 09:03:54:000AM Ian Hutchinson Load from 1071213008. Segment 3 is in use.
This is 0.8MA. Set nl04 to .8e20.

Physics Operator Comments
Dec 18 2007 08:51:33:870AM		Ian Hutchinson	Examining possible causes of Friday's fizzles. 1. Shot 20 was a disaster with many power supplies railing. It seems plausible that it caused the upset that led to fizzles. One counterargument is that shot 21 was a plasma. But its startup was crummy. 2. Bz ramp rate was substantially decreased even prior to plasma in shots after 20. 3. Br was somewhat higher after shot 20.
Dec 18 2007 09:03:54:000AM		Ian Hutchinson	Load from 1071213008. Segment 3 is in use. This is 0.8MA. Set nl04 to .8e20. Load from 1071213012. Segment 2 is in use. Lower Ip to 0.8MA. Load.
Dec 18 2007 09:29:28:167AM	1071218001	Ian Hutchinson	Plasma to rampdown. Little H-mode. RF tripping. Fill puff was rather high because designed for cryo operation. Lower fill puff to 22ms from 30ms.
