Run Plan for 1090814

MP#563 "Toroidal asymmetry of impurity seeding in support of ITER divertor gas injection requirements"

Goal
We will be continuing with part 1.B of this miniproposal today - Ohmic L-Mode Density Scan -
focussing on the higher density cases (cases iii & iv). At these higher densities, we will be looking to see if the N2 puff is less perturbative to the divertor regime (i.e., the recycling level).

The run boils down to simply setting up a reference discharge (1.0 MA, 5.4 Tesla, NL04 ~ 1.0e20 then ~ 1.2e20) and puffing N2 at it from various divertor floor capillaries. This should be another boring run from the Phys-Op's perspective. If things go well, we will switch to helium discharges and puff N2 into them.

Setup
NINJA should be filled to 12 PSI N2. Reload shot#1090806032. Program density to NL04 ~ 1.0e20.
No ICRF.

Shot Plan

A. Set up 1.0 MA, 5.4 tesla, NL04 ~ 1.0e20 m-2
Take a shot without N2 injection.
Set up NINJA to puff N2 starting at 0.8 seconds for 0.2 seconds duration.
Verify that N diagnostic signals are good: Chromex, VUV, CXRS (NV)
Run through the capillary sequence (one shot for each):
K30-012
D30-012
H30-012
B30-012
F30-012
Take a shot without N2 puff.
Run through capillary sequence again (or a sparser set)

B. Increase density to achieve partial detachment prior to puff (NL04 ~ 1.2)
Run through the capillary sequence.

C. Change to helium, NL04 ~ 1.0e20
Run through the capillary sequence.

Run Summary for 1090814

MP#563 "Toroidal asymmetry of impurity seeding in support of ITER divertor gas injection requirements"

This was a productive day producing some interesting results for the MP. Contrary to initial expectations, we detected significant, systematic toroidal asymmetries in nitrogen as we puffed at the 5 different divertor capillary locations -- variations in NV radiation as monitored on the K-port fibers, different AXUV diodes responses looking clockwise and counter-clockwise toroidally near A-port and toroidal variations in neutral pressures as measured by in-vessel Penning gauges.

The plan was to dial up some higher density discharges than during the last outing (1090806), trying to make the N2 puff less perturbative to the divertor recycling conditions, i.e. we wanted to start with the divertor in a nearly-detached state and then hit it with the N2 puff. The hope was that conditions would be more reproducible, allowing us to tease out subtle toroidal variations, if there were any to be seen.

We took a few shots (1-5) setting up a NL04 ~ 1.1e20, 1.0 MA, 5.4 tesla LSN ohmic discharge. Initially we started with NL04 ~ 1.0e20, but this exhibited an oscillatory D-alpha response in the divertor -- not good for teasing out subtleties. So we raised the density. We also put the proper density feedback in place for deuterium discharges (instead of helium!) - a mistake that we made last time and didn't realize it until near the last shot. This fix improved the reproducibility of the density program substantially. For example, shot 5 had an excellent flat density trace (no N2 gas puffing).

Shots 6 through 16 were a set of constant shots, with the divertor capillary puff location systematically cycled through K, D, H, B, F for two cycles. We managed to scan the A-port probe (ASP) on most of these shots to record the 'upsteam' conditions. These will allow us to assess pressure losses in the divertor associated with the onset of detachment. Shot 14 disrupted before rampdown so we redid this puff. Shot 17 was a no-puff baseline.

We then proceeded to set up a higher density case, NL04 ~ 1.4e20. Shot 18 disrupted but shot 19 was found to be a good target for subsequent puffing. However, a TF fault indication showed up on the attempt of shot#20. The run was suspended for investigation and then terminated early to begin repairs to some ground-fault detection circuitry that apparently had malfunctioned and become damaged.

The run plan strategy worked extremely well. The shot-to-shot reproducibility was excellent. Matt was able to overlay NV signals, AXUV signals and bolometer signals with almost a perfect match when the same capillary was puffed on the repeated discharge. Clear variations in the signal levels emerged, dependent on puff location. We also made use of the capillary calibration shots that were taken on 1090810 to correct for variations in N2 puffing rates. Applying these to the 1090806 data revealed very similar trends as we found today, although with more shot-to-shot variation.

Systematic toroidal variations in signal levels on order of ~30% were seen. However, the response to the puff location is not trivially understood. Divertor N2 pressures seem to care if the puff is at or 'upsteam' of the pressure gauges along field lines that strike the outer divertor. Similary, toroidal-viewing AXUV diode arrays appear to respond to an 'upstream' puff. However, NV near the x-point cares about an 'upstream' puff, but only if one considers that the relevant field lines are the ones that map to the inner divertor. The D-port foil bolometer (newly installed for this campaign) also saw a sensitivity to puff location -- higher radiated power when the puff was nearer to D-port. These data are quite convincing that we are seeing real effects here.

Matt has a load of high-quality signals to sort through. Meanwhile, we are looking to run the same N2 puff sequence in NL04 ~ 1.4e20 discharges. The current run schedule calls for doing this next Tuesday afternoon. Stay tuned.

In spite of predictions to the contrary, this was not a dull run. The main issue that developed was a TF fault that occurred on Shot 20 around 2:00 PM. After 2 hours of investigation, e.g., hi-potting the bus, it was decided to terminate the run. (After the run, examination of the box housing TF resistance measurements revealed arcing inside it; this may have initiated the fault.)

Aside from the TF ground fault, a number of other more benign problems occurred during the course of this run, including failure of the log book to update at the beginning of the run and a need to reset computers half way through the run.

One other problem which PO's should be aware of was a mixup on the requested power supply current limits. This was a simple mistake on the part of the engineers who misread the setup specified in the PhysOp plan. It resulted in a disruption when the run plan called for operating at higher density -- not catastrophic but unnecessary. It behooves the PhysOps to pay more attention to the power supply setup.

Another issue was the feedback controlling the density. The initially loaded shot was for He, which requires less FB gain (X2) than for D2 (X8). Thus the density didn't regulate as well as usual with D2 until the proper gain was restored. The lesson here is to be aware of any and all special aspects of the shot loaded for beginning plasma operation.

Although the run fell short of carrying out the full run plan, one complete scan of tdivertor radiation vs toroidal puff location was obtained.

Scorecard: 20 attempts at plasmas, 15 full length, 2 disruptions ,2 fizzles and 1 interrupted by TF ground fault.

Aug 14 2009 09:18:35:937AM1090814002Matt ReinkeThe dither as seen on the H-alpha is on the divertor spectroscopy channels. This is going to be a problem for running our experiment. Need to get rid of it.
