After some adjustments to the CNPA aperature, we switched to USN discharge to stay out of H-mode but we still had significant density evolution with both the LH and ICRF (J antenna). We took a series of pulses to try to condition the machine to reduce this density increase, 006-011. We made two fiducial disharges for latter comparison with MCEH discharges (steps 1 and 2). We also had a series of discharges with modulated ICRF with constant LH power. At high power, the CNPA data looks reasonable despite no DNB. Using 2 MW of ICRF, we then began to explore parameter space to investigate potential LH damping on fast ions and have partial data from 4 conditions.

Only the leak marred C-Mod operation today ( Also, see the physop notes for run 1080404). According to the RGA, N2 increased continually after shot 017 and 019 was a fizzle. After that, it was necessary to keep the cooling as low as practical so that N2 would remain low. The first two shots in this run were LSN for which the reference shot was 1080219013. These were going into H-mode. The SL wanted to avoid that to simplify analysis of the data. Subsequent shots (003 - 032) were with USN. The reference shot was 1080403030. Several shots (006-012) at low density were required to degas the RF antenna so that the density would not rise during the pulse. There was a density scan from shot 027 through 029. Injections caused disruptions in four shots (004,007,008,022 Score card ------------ 30 plasma 02 fizzle 00 dud 32 total
