Physics Operator: W. Rowan
MP: 612 Exploration of LHCD Density Limit

LH Setup: Launcher 0.5 mm behind limiter; 90 degree current-drive phasing; 700+ kW net power; LH on from 0.7 to 1.2s.


1.Complete unfinished density scans from FY08 campaign. Ramped density shot at 5.4 T, 1.1 MA, 110° phasing, PLH = 700 kW, nebar = 0.5-1.1x1020 m-3 (nl04=3-7e19) L-mode. Reference equilibrium 1100729005 (change current to 1100 kA and density ramp---can also use 1100805018 as template). Repeat at 7 T, 800 kA. (2-4 shots)

2.Confirm results from FY08 match results from FY10. 5.4 T, 800 kA, 90° phasing (n|| = 1.9, equivalent to 75° phasing from old launcher), PLH = 700 kW, nebar = 0.7-1.3x1020 m-3 (nl04=4-8e19)L-mode. Reference equilibrium 1100729005 (change current to 800 kA). (1-2 shots)

3.Repeat step 2 in DN, starting from 1091022016. Keep DN consistent during LH pulse. nebar = 0.7-1.2x1020 m-3. (1-2 shots)

4.Repeat step 3 in DN with inner wall fueling. (1-2 shots)

5.Repeat step 2 in limited configuration with CLEARIN set for slightly and highly limited discharges. (2-4 shots)

6.Repeat step 2 with 1 MW of ICRF from J- and/or E-port antennas in L-mode (may require shift to upper null to avoid H-mode). Repeat with 2 MW ICRF. (2-4 shots)

7.Repeat 2 at 800 kA, 4.5 T. (1-2 shots)

8.Repeat 2 at 600 kA, 5.4 T. (1-2 shots)

9.Repeat 2 at 800 kA, 8 T. (1-2 shots)

This run day was in support of MP 612, Exploration of LHCD Density Limit. The goal of the day was to both confirm the data on the density limit taken during the 2008 campaign and examine the role of plasma topology and fueling on the density limit. Ramped density scans were peformed in single and double null, and also in inner wall limited discharges.

Single density scans show agreement in non-thermal electron bremsstrahlung from the HXR camera as compared to results from 2008. Preliminary analysis shows a small increase in HXR emissivity at high density in double null as compared to single null. HXR emission appears to decrease like 1/ne in inner wall limited discharges up to line averaged densities of 1.6x10^20 m^-3.

Summary of good shots:
7: 5.4T, 800 kA, nebar=-.7-1.3e20, PLH=400kW, n||=1.9
10: good shot, no HXR data
19: 550 kW LH power, n||=1.9, nebar=0.7-1.2e20, close to double null, 800 kA, 5.4 T, possible H-mode at 1.1 s?
21: nebar=0.8-1.1e20 in L-mode, nebar=1.1-1.5e20 in H-mode, 800 kA, 5.4 T, double null
23: ELM-free H-mode, nebar=1.3-2.5e20, 5.4T, 800 kA, 600 kW LH power, double null
25: 600 kW LH power, n||=1.9, nebar=1.0-1.5e20, 5.4 T, 800 kA, double null with inner wall puffing
27: Inner wall limited with some trips but possibly usable data. nebar~1.4e20.
28: Inner wall limited, nebar=1.3-1.5e20, PLH=600 kW, n||=1.9
29: nebar=0.7-1.15e20, inner wall limited, PLH=600 kW, bad HXR data

We ran three configurations today with cryo pump for all. They consisted of LSN (001-010) and DN (011-025) which was converted to innerwall limited (026-031) via simple gap control.

The run started with a LSN. This was loaded from 1100805018, a non-cryo shot. Segment 1 was imported from 1100805013 which was the last cryo shot from that run.

The double null part of the run started on shot 011. It was loaded from 1100729023. That shot was not attempted during 1100729 because of a series of engineering failues. In turn, it was loaded from 1091022016 and the wire programming updates were applied when it was loaded for 1100729023. During the current run, the shot was modified to provide a more consistent DN that started at an earlier time by fiddling only with zcur. There was an attempt to do inner wall fueling on a few DN discharges (022 - 025) using the Ninja.

The inner wall limited discharge (026-031) was made by changing the gaps using clearin and rcur. The first attempt at this configuration (026) was not successful because the clearin changes did not appear in the final pcs programming for the shot although they were entered in the usual way. The second attempt (027) was successful using the same clearin programming as for the first attempt.

The engineering failures consisted of the mysterious TF "failure to run" 1100806005 and a commutation fault on the last shot 1100806031 (attempted after 5 pm) which ended the run.

On several shots (012 was one) there were alternator bearing vibration warnings. Alternator was contacted in each case. They approved continuing the run.

Session Leader Comments
Aug 6 2010 09:28:10:997AM1100806001Greg WallaceAll trips on LH. Refco on klystron 4 very high. Will try going to 80 kW/klystron at 40 kV on next shot with klystron 4 into dummy load. Will also move launcher in to 0.1mm behind limiter. Full length plasma at 1.0MA, 5.4 T. Will try to get density ramp and 1.1MA on next shot.
Aug 6 2010 09:49:31:387AM1100806002Greg WallaceAll trips again. Will try 90 deg phasing, all klystrons @40kV 80 kW/klystron into plasma on next shot.
Aug 6 2010 10:12:11:840AM1100806003Greg WallaceBetter after some initial trips at 90 deg. Locked mode disruption at 1.2s. Will retry with slightly higher density on next shot.
Aug 6 2010 10:27:18:860AM1100806004Greg WallaceLH ran clean but locked mode disrupted at 1.18s. Will be interesting to see what x-rays look like during locked-mode density scan at 1.1MA. Next shot will move on to step 2 from run plan (5.4 T, 800 kA, nl04=4-8e19).
Aug 6 2010 10:36:08:570AM1100806005Greg WallaceNo TF==>no plasma!
Aug 6 2010 10:55:19:017AM1100806006Greg WallaceDisruption at .75 s. LH ran until disruption. Next shot will go back to starting point from 1100805018 and switch to 800 kA.
Aug 6 2010 11:14:41:680AM1100806007Greg WallaceGood shot! 5.4 T, nebar = .7-1.3e20, 800 kA. Plh=400 kW, 90 deg. Will try to increase power on next shot (140 kW/klystron, 90 deg)
Aug 6 2010 11:23:13:323AM1100806008Greg WallaceDisruption at .75 s. Nate says increase in W concentration may have caused disruption. Will increase outer gap for next shot but keep all else constant.
Aug 6 2010 11:41:26:797AM1100806009Greg WallaceLH ran clean early, then lots of flashes on grill. Two substantial hot spots on C row, looks like 16/dummy and 15/14 septa. Looks like launcher moved in a little bit too much (1269 counts on PLC, which should be exactly flush). Will move launcher back a little to approximately 0.25mm for next shot and repeat.
Aug 6 2010 11:59:41:613AM1100806010Greg WallaceGood shot! 600 kW net, 90 deg phasing, nebar=.8-1.2e20 (nl04=5-7e19) during LH. Moving on to double null from step 3 of run plan.
Aug 6 2010 12:32:11:490PM1100806011Greg WallaceLH ran clean until disruption at 0.86 s. Didn't really look DN to me. Will repeat.
Aug 6 2010 12:40:51:657PM1100806012Greg WallaceSeveral trips during LH pulse corresponding to flashes on LH camera. Will retry on next shot with reprogrammed zcur to get more consistent DN.
Aug 6 2010 12:42:05:243PM1100806013Greg WallaceFizzle.
Aug 9 2010 09:51:15:177AM1100806014Greg WallaceDisruption at .96s. Some flashing on LH starting at .9s. Will try reducing LH power to 120 kW/klystron (still at 90 deg) for next shot to see if that reduces W source. Bill will continue to fiddle with zcur to get better double null.
Aug 6 2010 01:11:20:317PM1100806015Greg WallaceFizzle.
Aug 6 2010 01:24:32:260PM1100806016Greg WallaceFizzle.

Aug 6 2010 01:59:51:517PM1100806018Greg WallaceFizzle.
Aug 6 2010 02:12:26:867PM1100806019Greg WallaceGood shot! Clean LH shot at 550 kW (120kW/klystron) and 90 deg phasing. nebar=.7-1.4e20 Not quite double null until end of LH pulse. Will try again for something with earlier double null, increase LH to 130 kW/klystron.
Aug 6 2010 02:28:17:197PM1100806020Greg WallaceLots of early x-rays. Plasma ramped down at 0.5 s. Will try to repeat.
Aug 6 2010 02:43:46:060PM1100806021Greg WallaceGood shot! 2 trips late during LH with associated flashing on LH camera. BIG jump in density on LH probes during end of LH pulse. nebar=0.8-1.4e20, Plh=600 kW, . Moving on to inner wall fueling with 10psi NINJA puff at 0.7 and 1.0 s.
Aug 9 2010 10:00:43:373AM1100806022Greg WallaceFirst attempt at double null with inner wall fueling. LH ran clean for most of LH pulse, then had some trips associated with flashing on the camera. NINJA puff was not quite enough (if it made it to the plasma). Increasing plenum pressure from 10psi to 20psi for next shot.
Aug 6 2010 03:11:00:593PM1100806023Greg WallaceGood shot! Went into ELM-free H-mode although unintentionally. A few LH trips associated with flashing on camera but no signs of damage to launcher. Will try again with some argon puffing to see if we can keep out of H-mode.
Aug 6 2010 03:22:50:133PM1100806024Greg WallaceLots of LH trips and flashing later in the shot when density on LH probes is very high. Will try reducing density at beginning of pulse and also pulling launcher back for next shot. Will stay with double null and inner wall puff.
Aug 6 2010 03:41:54:017PM1100806025Greg WallaceGood shot! A little under 600 kW net, 130 kW/klystron at 90 deg. nebar=0.9-1.4e20. Moving on to inner wall limited discharge with density ramp.
Aug 6 2010 04:02:15:133PM1100806026Greg WallaceDisruption at .75 s trying for inner wall limited plasma. Wasn't inner wall limited and density was too high (nl04~6e19) at 0.7s. Will try again for inner wall limited plasma.
Aug 6 2010 04:17:26:227PM1100806027Greg WallaceOK shot. Several trips with associated flashes. Got a nice limited plasma but started at pretty high density (nebar=1.15e20). Will try again for lower starting density.

Strange noise on HXR on this shot.
Aug 6 2010 04:25:47:443PM1100806028Greg WallaceLess flashing on grill, but still did not get density as low as we wanted. Will try one more time for lower density during beginning of LH pulse with inner wall limited plasma.
Aug 6 2010 04:45:24:563PM1100806029Greg WallaceGood shot! Early LH shows some strange ECE behavior and bad HXR data. Recovers around .9 s. Will try again with larger outer gap from .9 to 1.2s.
Aug 6 2010 04:55:37:097PM1100806030Greg WallaceGood shot! LH ran clean all the way through. Got small density scan from nebar=1.13-1.3e20. Will try this shot one last time to get full density ramp.
Aug 6 2010 05:07:01:503PM1100806031Greg WallacePower supply commutationi failure. Disruption at .4s.
