MP612: Expanded exploration of LHCD density limit
Session Leader: G. Wallace
Physics Operator: E. Marmar
Assistant PO: S. Shiraiwa

The primary goal of today's run will be to obtain MSE and scanning probe data of discharges below and above the observed LHCD density limit of ~1e20 m-3. The results from 1100806 show a strong dependence of the density limit on magnetic topology, with a clear increase in non-thermal emission at high density for inner wall limited plasmas.

LH setup: 90 deg current drive phasing, 140 kW/klystron, launcher set to 0.1mm behind LH limiter, pulse timing 0.8-1.3 s.

C-Mod setup: Overnight ECDC. B_T will be at 5.4 T throughout the day. Start with 1100806030 equilibrium. Cryopump will be used on all shots.

Required diagnostics: HXR, ECE, TS, DNB, MSE, ASP, FSP, WASP.

1) Load equilibrium from 1100806030 (5.4 T, 800 kA, limited). Reprogram nl_04 to 4e19 m^-2 during flattop (anticipating slightly higher density than requested). Apply ~600 kW of net LH power (~140 kW/klystron) from 0.8-1.3 s at n_||=1.9 (90 deg phasing). Repeat with scanning probes to obtain SOL profiles. (2-4 shots)

2) Load equilibrium from 1100806021 (5.4 T, 800 kA, double null). Reprogram nl_04 to 4e19 m^-2 during flattop. Apply ~600 kW of net LH power (~140 kW/klystron) from 0.8-1.3 s at n_||=1.9 (90 deg phasing). Repeat with scanning probes to obtain SOL profiles. (2-4 shots)

3) Load equilibrium from 1100806010 (5.4 T, 800 kA, single null). Reprogram nl_04 to 4e19 m^-2 during flattop. Apply ~600 kW of net LH power (~140 kW/klystron) from 0.8-1.3 s at n_||=1.9 (90 deg phasing). Repeat with scanning probes to obtain SOL profiles. (2-4 shots)

4) Repeat step 1 (limited) with nl_04 reprogrammed to 8e19 m^-2 during flattop. (1-2 shots)

5) Repeat step 2 (double null) with nl_04 reprogrammed to 8e19 m^-2 during flattop. (1-2 shots)

6) Repeat step 3 (single null) with nl_04 reprogrammed to 8e19 m^-2 during flattop. (1-2 shots)

7) Inner gap scan in double null. Start with equilibrium from step 5. Ramp CLEARIN from 0.00315 to -0.03 between 0.8 and 1.3 s. Repeat with scanning probes to obtain SOL profiles. (2-4 shots)

8) Inner gap scan in single null. Start with equilibrium from step 6. Ramp CLEARIN from 0.00315 to -0.03 between 0.8 and 1.3 s. Repeat with scanning probes to obtain SOL profiles. (2-4 shots)

9) Repeat step 6 with LH power scan. Set LH power to 40, 70, 110, 140, 170 kW/klystron on each of 5 segments. (1-2 shots)

10) If time allows, try experimenting with the 4-2-4-2-4 powered/unpowered columns approach to look at reflection coefficient pattern.

Session Leader Summary for 1100820
MP612: Expanded Exploration of LHCD Density Limit

The main goal of this run was to get scanning probe and MSE data for discharges below and above the LHCD density limit in limited and diverted configurations. Good data was obtained in several of the configurations: lower null low density, inner wall limited high density, and lower null high density. Data in double null was difficult to obtain due to H-modes caused by LH at all densities. Low density inner wall limited data was also not obtained despite repeated attempts.

Progress was limited today not only by tripping of the LH system (caused by flashover on LH grill at high density) but also by many disruptions and fizzles. Not enough time was available at the end of the day to successfully accomplish an inner gap scan.

Good shots, all at 800 kA, 5.4 T:
1) Inner wall limited, nebar=1.35-1.45e20, HXR missing on Chords 1-16
2) Inner wall limited, nebar=1.35-1.4e20, scanning probes
3) Inner wall limited, nebar=1.25-1.32e20, scanning probes
4) Inner wall limited, nebar=1.1e20 steady, scanning probes
7) Double null, nebar=7-9e19, no scanning probes
8) Double null, nebar=8e19 steady, scanning probes
16) Lower null, nebar=9-9.5e19, no scanning probes
17) Lower null, nebar=8e19, scanning probes
31) Lower null, nebar=1.3e20, scanning probes

The machine ran reasonably well today, but we had some trouble with fizzles. Shot 2 had a bounce and early hards, so I made Bz less negative, and probably overdid it a bit. Also chased fill pressure through the day, and played a bit with BR. The BR changes were probably irrelevant.

We had one power supply problem (shot 15, EF1L) which caused a dud.

After shot 9, I had the engineers move the fizzle off time to 1.8 seconds. There appeared to be no ill effects on coax resistance.

Session Leader Comments
Aug 20 2010 09:32:35:147AM1100820001Greg WallaceGood shot! LH clean until near end of pulse. nl_04=7-7.5e19, nebar=1.35-1.45e20. PLH=650 kW.

Some heating on B-side septa of B row.

Will repeat with lower density on next shot. Scanning probes on next shot.
Aug 20 2010 09:32:13:617AM1100820002Greg WallaceGood shot! nebar=1.35-1.4e20, nl_04=7-7.2e19, PLH=650 kW, n||=1.9, inner wall limited with scanning probes. Will suffice for step 4 of run plan.

Next step will try to reduce density further and eliminate vertical jog in zcur (for real this time).
Aug 20 2010 09:49:15:917AM1100820003Greg WallaceGood shot! Inner wall limited, nl_04=6.5-6.8e19, nebar=1.25-1.32e20. PLH=625 kW, n||=1.9. Again, this shot might be good for step 4 of run plan, but not low enough density for step 1. Good MSE and scanning probe data on this shot. HXR ch 16 looks funny, 15 and 14 are OK.

Next shot will try again to get lower density in limited configuration.
Aug 20 2010 09:57:06:893AM1100820004Greg WallaceGood shot! Inner wall limited, nl_04=5.5e19, nebar=1.1e20. PLH=650 kW, n||=1.9. Density is lower now but not quite as low as I'd like for step 1.

Next shot will try one final time for the low density data point (nl_04~4.5e19).
Aug 20 2010 10:20:10:447AM1100820005Greg WallaceDisruption at 0.62 s. Will try again for low density inner wall limited.
Aug 20 2010 10:23:34:340AM1100820006Greg WallaceDisruption again, at 0.76 s this time. Moving on to step 2 (low density double null) for next shot. Will take equilibrium from 1100806021.
Aug 20 2010 10:41:25:950AM1100820007Greg WallaceGood shot! A few trips late in LH pulse but otherwise no problems. Density moves around a bit more than I'd like. Double null, nl_04=4-5e19, nebar=7-9e19, PLH=650 kW, n||=1.9. Syun'ichi thinks there was a locked mode during lowest density part of LH pulse.

Next shot will repeat with scanning probes and will try for flatter density during LH.
Aug 20 2010 10:57:55:057AM1100820008Greg WallaceOK shot. Some trips late in shot with indications of hot spots on A and B rows-D side on LH camera. Density during LH was better controlled. Double null, nl_04=~4.5e19, nebar=~8e19, PLH=675 kW, n||=1.9.

Will try again on next shot, hoping for fewer trips.
Aug 20 2010 11:25:09:120AM1100820009Greg WallaceMany trips on LH later in the pulse, coincident with hotspot activity on the A and B rows. Will try again with launcher moved back slightly (1272 vs 1270 on PLC). Looks like 1 or 2 H-modes during early part of LH pulse. Will try again on next shot.

Ch 16 on HXR still looks funny.
Aug 20 2010 11:38:39:947AM1100820010Greg WallaceDithering H-modes during LH. Will try again with lower density before LH.
Aug 20 2010 11:53:25:637AM1100820011Greg WallaceFizzle. HXR ch 16 shows just bit noise. Seems like there might be a problem with either shaper connectivity or the ribbon cable for ch 16.
Aug 20 2010 12:10:15:863PM1100820012Greg WallaceAll trips on LH. Got the plasma I wanted on this shot, though. Density was 1e18 on LH probes. Should have been enough for good coupling. Will try again with launcher back at 1270 counts. Last attempt at low density double null.
Aug 20 2010 12:25:30:453PM1100820013Greg WallaceAll trips again. Punting on step 2 and moving on to step 3 (single null, low density).

Looking into phase on klystron 4 as possible reason for very high reflections on col 6 which caused trips. Test shots confirm that phase of klystron 4 is moving all over the place.
Aug 20 2010 12:47:43:157PM1100820014Greg WallaceFizzle. Test shot into dummy load shows phase on klystron 4 is unpredictable. Will put klystron 4 into dummy load for next shot.
Aug 20 2010 01:00:55:240PM1100820015Greg WallaceDud. Will try again for low density single null (step 3).
Aug 20 2010 01:17:02:683PM1100820016Greg WallaceGood shot! Lower null, nl_04=~5.5e19, nebar=9-9.5e19, PLH=600 kW (klyst 4 into dummy load), n||=1.9.

Next shot will repeat with (hopefully) lower density and scanning probes.
Aug 20 2010 01:30:07:653PM1100820017Greg WallaceGood shot! Perfect for step 3. Lower null, nl_04~4.75e19, nebar~8e19, PLH~600 kW, n||=1.9. Good scanning probe data and MSE data.

Moving on to step 5 (already got step 4 in early part of run day, shots 2-3), double null at high density.
Aug 20 2010 02:53:53:927PM1100820018Greg WallaceMany trips on LH. Lots of flashing on LH camera---looks like maybe an injection or two as well? WIDE2 shows increase in brightness on upper and lower divertors at same time as flashing on grill. This is double null for step 5 of run plan.

Next shot will increase outer gap by 5mm to prevent flashover. Also will decrease demand nl_04 from 8 to 7.5e19.
Aug 20 2010 01:52:29:873PM1100820019Greg WallaceFizzle.
Aug 20 2010 02:02:30:787PM1100820020Greg WallaceFizzle.
Aug 20 2010 02:27:37:923PM1100820021Greg WallaceMany trips with flashing coming from septum between B16 and B15. Will try again with 5mm larger outer gap.
Aug 20 2010 02:35:12:487PM1100820022Greg WallaceSome flashing again, then plasma goes vertically unstable due to high elongation. Will try again with original (i.e. shot 13) shape and pull launcher back.
Aug 20 2010 02:54:17:700PM1100820023Greg WallaceFizzle. Will try again for step 5 (high density double null).
Aug 20 2010 03:05:40:237PM1100820024Greg WallaceMore flashing again. Will try for less programmed density (nebar=6.25e19 instead of 7.5e19). Still double null.
Aug 20 2010 03:20:55:180PM1100820025Greg WallaceLH does OK until H-modes start at around 0.92 s. Shot disrupts at 1.19 s. Early injection of Mo, but disruption does not seem to be W (according to Nathan). Will try again and hope to not get H-mode or disruption.
Aug 20 2010 03:39:37:607PM1100820026Greg WallaceMore H-modes lead to flashing on grill and many trips. Plasma disrupts again at 1.13 s. LH system does not seem to like double null at high density. Will try reducing LH power from 140 to 130 kW/klystron on next shot.
Aug 20 2010 03:42:11:643PM1100820027Greg WallaceFizzle.
Aug 20 2010 03:54:07:267PM1100820028Greg WallaceAnother fizzle.
Aug 20 2010 04:16:41:947PM1100820029Greg WallaceProblems with H-modes again causing LH to flash over the grill and trip. Giving up on step 5 (double null, high density) and moving on to step 6 (single null, high density) for next shot.
Aug 20 2010 04:20:31:807PM1100820030Greg WallaceFizzle.
Aug 20 2010 04:47:03:833PM1100820031Greg WallaceGood shot! Lower null, nl_04~8e19, nebar~1.3e20, PLH=600 kW, n||=1.9. Got what I needed for step 6 of run plan (single null, high density).

Moving on to step 8 of the run (lower null inner gap scan) at high density for next shot.
Aug 20 2010 04:56:52:357PM1100820032Greg WallaceInner gap scan, but didn't quite get what I wanted. Density increases as we go towards inner wall limited and we get some flashing on the grill.

Next shot will be ohmic baseline for MSE.
Aug 20 2010 05:18:14:490PM1100820033Greg WallaceOhmic shot for MSE.
