Continuation of MP 468 (LH Modulation)

1) Try to establish good coupling for high-current condition (1000 kA, nl04=5e19, 146 deg phasing), at constant power. Start by calling up shot 1100825030 (reduce outer gap if possible). Launch 90 deg phasing, constant power for first shot. Attenuators will already be in on problem legs of LH system. Bring power and phasing up slowly, adjusting launcher position and outer gap as needed to obtain good coupling at 145 deg phasing.

2) Try modulated waveform into plasma using same scheme used on 8/25. Obtain 6 clean discharges at these conditions.

Continuation of MP 468 (LH Modulation)

In the first half of the day, we successfully established good coupling to the high phasing desired. We had 3 discharges at the exact conditions desired, the first one of which we lost the HXR data due to a digitizer error. Starting on shot 15, we got a locked mode followed by a disruption on every single shot for the rest of the day. The locked mode appeared to be LH-induced (when LH was delayed, locked mode was delayed by the same amount).

Even when the plasma did not disrupt during the LH pulse, the locked mode appeared to fundamentally change the plasma such that HXR data obtained after the start of the locked mode should be excluded from the analysis.

For the second half of the day, we tried multiple methods to get rid of the locked mode: increasing the outer gap, raising the bulk density, lowering LH phasing, lowering LH power, and changing the A coil current (we also went back to shot 14, the last shot with no disruption, several times). None of these methods eliminated the locked mode.

The end result is that we got 2 shots at the desired plasma conditions that ran all the way through and many more shots from which perhaps some hxr data can be used. The mechanism through which LH causes locked modes and the way to avoid them is unclear.

Author: Steve Scott
Executive summary: This was a frustrating run due to a large number of locked modes that led to disruptions during the current flattop. We were attempting 1.0 MA at low density (ideally NeL04=5.e19 m^-2). There is good evidence that injecting Lower Hybrid power is correlated with the onset of the locked modes. We tried a variety of measures to eliminate the locked modes including:

a. increase plasma density
b. increase outer gap
c. increase toroidal field
d. adjust offset in A-coil
e. change position of LH grill
f. reduce LH power
g. change LH phase
h. moved lower X-point inward

but nothing seemed to have a pronounced effect on the occurence of locked modes. For reasons that remain unclear, shots 12, 13 and 14 were free of locked modes during the Ip flattop and these were good shots for Andrea. We tried returning to the "physop conditions" of shot 14 later in the day, but these repeat-shots suffered from locked modes during the Ip flattop.

Inner-wall tile problem: we did not see much light coming from the problematic inner-wall tile, and no disruptions were caused by it.

In the table below, "none" under "locked" column means no locked mode before
the start of the Ip rampdown at 1.4 sec.

Session Leader Comments
Aug 31 2010 11:20:52:870AM1100831008Andrea SchmidtAnother disruption. It is unclear whether LH is playing a role in the disruptions. Next shot we will try modulation and bring phasing up to 145 deg. Hopefully the lower average power will help things.
Aug 31 2010 11:21:57:603AM1100831009Andrea SchmidtPlasma ran clean, so did LH. Density and outer gap were increased for this shot. Will try to bring the density back down a little bit for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 11:20:17:340AM1100831010Andrea SchmidtNo plasma. Try again.
Aug 31 2010 12:29:18:437PM1100831011Andrea SchmidtPlasma ran clean, LH ran clean. Lock mode showed up half way through LH. Increasing outer gap for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 12:30:03:647PM1100831012Andrea SchmidtExcellent plasma, no LH trips. Unfortunately HXR digitizers hung and we were unable to recover the data. Try again.
Aug 31 2010 12:35:08:320PM1100831013Andrea SchmidtAnother excellent shot. Repeat.
Aug 31 2010 12:52:24:600PM1100831014Andrea SchmidtAnother excellent shot. Repeat.
Aug 31 2010 01:13:06:430PM1100831015Andrea SchmidtLH trips continuously. Late disruption (after LH). Lock mode appears after 0.8 seconds. Try same plasma again.
Aug 31 2010 01:23:18:263PM1100831015Andrea SchmidtLH ran until disruption at .9 s. Bringing density up slightly for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 01:51:59:130PM1100831016Andrea SchmidtAnother disruption at 0.9 s.
Aug 31 2010 01:50:12:923PM1100831017Andrea SchmidtAnother disruption. Bring the density up a litle more for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 01:50:46:883PM1100831018Andrea SchmidtAnother disruption. We will try to increase outer gap for next shot to see if that helps (it did earlier today).
Aug 31 2010 02:09:14:690PM1100831019Andrea SchmidtAnother disruption. We are going to move the lower x-point in by 1 cm for the next shot.
Aug 31 2010 02:42:48:170PM1100831020Andrea SchmidtAnother disruption. For the next shot we are going back to shot 14 parameters and moving LH later in the pulse to see if it is causing locked mode.
Aug 31 2010 02:43:44:053PM1100831021Andrea SchmidtLocked mode followed LH turn on to later time. We will be lowering the phasing for the next shot to see if a different damping location helps.
Aug 31 2010 02:54:43:893PM1100831022Andrea SchmidtAt lower phasing, plasma still disrupted. We will increase out gap significantly (by 5 mm) and lower power because at lower phasing, reflections are much lower.
Aug 31 2010 03:06:13:000PM1100831023Andrea SchmidtBigger gap did not prevent locked mode. For next shot, we will go back to 145 degree phasing, shot 14 plasma conditions, but raise the field to 6 T.
Aug 31 2010 04:40:56:240PM1100831027Andrea SchmidtAnother lock mode/disruption. Lowering LH power and changing A coil current for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 04:42:30:747PM1100831028Andrea SchmidtAnother lock mode/disruption, seemed delayed by A coil current change. Changing A coil current more for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 04:42:47:277PM1100831029Andrea SchmidtAnother lock mode/disruption, seemed delayed by A coil current change again. Changing A coil current more for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 05:08:14:550PM1100831030Andrea SchmidtLock mode/disruption onset earlier. Going back to A coil configuration from shot 29 for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 05:08:42:190PM1100831031Andrea SchmidtLock mode/disruption at .86 s (very early). End of run.

Aug 31 2010 07:51:29:857AM1100831001Steve Scottstandard tue morning gas valve test. not particularly successful. so try again
Aug 31 2010 07:51:48:757AM1100831002Steve Scott2nd gas puff test. successful
Aug 31 2010 08:08:08:440AM1100831003Bill Rowanloaded from shot 1100825030. then imported segment 1 from shot
1100827030 and reduced prefill to 23 ms (-0.523 --> -0.500).
Aug 31 2010 08:34:29:210AM1100831003Bill RowanNNIJA disabled on engineering screens but left ON on local control.
Plan calls for NINJA to be off so we turned it off prior to shot 3
Aug 31 2010 09:08:02:330AM1100831003Bill RowanRESULT: good plasma at 1.0 MA. The density (Nl04=6.e19) is a little higher
than desired (5.e19) but we will assume that the density will drop a little on the next shot ... no adjustment of gas puff
Aug 31 2010 09:11:32:393AM1100831004Bill RowanCHANGE: increase RCUR by 0.5mm during flattop in order to decrease
outer gap by 1mm.
Aug 31 2010 09:35:29:797AM1100831004Bill RowanThere was a small bounce at t=12 ms but we choose to make no adjustments
Aug 31 2010 09:39:27:387AM1100831005Bill RowanCHANGES: no physOp changes from previous shot
Aug 31 2010 09:50:22:980AM1100831005Bill RowanThere seems to be a locked mode creeping back from the end of the discharge,
maybe starting at 1.52 sec. But we'll make no adjustment for the next shot
Aug 31 2010 10:10:24:613AM1100831006Bill RowanRESULT: small prad burst at 0.8 sec, at time of start of LH.
Got a locked mode at 0.85 sec that quickly led to a disruption

Aug 31 2010 10:15:45:173AM1100831006Bill RowanCHANGE: increase RCUR by 0.5mm in order to decrease outer gap by 1.0 mm. This change applied during time period 0.37 to circa 1.5 sec.

RESULT: outer gap varies from 2 to 3 mm.
Aug 31 2010 10:21:00:290AM1100831007Bill RowanCHANGES: no physOp changes. LH will change phasing. Will pray for elimination of the locked mode.

RESULT: disrupted at 0.935 second.

There is a prad burst at 0.78 which precedes the start of LH.
Aug 31 2010 10:53:27:243AM1100831008Bill RowanCHANGES: decrease RCUR by 0.5 mm in order to increase outer gap by 1.0mm

RESULT: disrupted at 1.02 sec. looks like locked mode starting 0.85 sec.

there is some light at the top of the divertor shelf. Maybe we need to think
about moving the lower x-point in a little. Will remain at the present
x-point location for the next shot.
Aug 31 2010 11:07:48:913AM1100831009Bill RowanCHANGES: increase Nel to 6.e19 and increase outer gap by 1 mm

RESULT: full length shot. locked mode not until 1.67 sec.
Beware: there is an appearance of large sawteeth during LH, which I think
is really just the effect of modulated LH on the electron temperature
Aug 31 2010 11:11:50:583AM1100831010Bill RowanCHANGES: Decrease flattop Nel demand to 5.25e19. Also, we have slightly decreased the early density ramp rate, hoping to decrease the size of the
early fluctuations in NeL.

RESULT: EF1 early commutation problem. DUD.
Aug 31 2010 11:45:15:707AM1100831011Bill RowanNo changes from the previous dud.

result: shot lasts into rampdown, but just a little. also, there is a
locked mode starting at 1.07 sec, so although we didn't get quite the density
that we asked for (asked for 5.25, got 5.6) we will make no density adjustments
on the next shot.

disrupted at 1.465 sec
Aug 31 2010 11:56:58:847AM1100831012Bill RowanCHANGES: decrease rcur by 0.5 mm in order to increase outer gap by 1.0 mm

RESULT: full length shot. However, I don't see much difference in the
actual outer gap between shot 12 and the previous shot. Maybe operator error?
Aug 31 2010 11:58:07:407AM1100831013Bill RowanCHANGES: None. Andrea is happy with conditions that obtained on the previous shot.
Aug 31 2010 12:32:30:733PM1100831013Steve ScottRESULT: after a delay to recover the LH-related data from shot 12 (ultimately unsuccessful) ... full length shot. No evidence of locked modes. NeL04 pretty
good at 5.35e19.
Aug 31 2010 12:50:58:447PM1100831014Steve ScottCHANGES: none from previous shot.

RESULT: full length shot, very similar to shot 13.
Aug 31 2010 01:13:40:290PM1100831015Steve ScottCHANGES: none. SL is happy.

RESULT: shot survived a little way into rampdown (1.5 sec).
According to Steve Wolfe, this shot locked at 0.84.
Although there was no difference in Nel programming, this shot got
about 5.e18 less Nel than shot 14, which may have caused the locked mode.

But in addition, the LH did not fire properly. So maybe we would have survived
if the LH had fired properly.

Decision: no changes for next shot.
Aug 31 2010 01:23:59:320PM1100831016Steve ScottCHANGES: none.
RESULT: got about the same density at start of LH as previous shot.
disrupted at 0.9 sec.
So it looks like we just don't have enough density. Increase NeL demand for the next shot.
Aug 31 2010 01:24:23:947PM1100831017Steve ScottCHANGES: increase NeL04 demand to 5.5e19 during flattop.
Aug 31 2010 01:51:40:923PM1100831018Steve ScottCHANGE: increase NeL04 demand from 5.5e19 to 6.0e19 this shot (during flattop).

RESULT: disrupted at 1.0 sec.
Aug 31 2010 02:08:26:633PM1100831019Steve ScottCHANGE: decreased RCUR by 0.5mm --> increase outer gap by 1.0 mm
Result: still disrupted early
Aug 31 2010 02:26:02:840PM1100831020Steve ScottCHANGE: decrease RXL by 1.0 cm (radial position of lower X-point)
RESULT: (sigh). disrupted 1.01 seconds
We did get the demanded change in R_XL i.e. it decreased about 1.0 cm
relative to the previous shot
Aug 31 2010 02:35:02:340PM1100831021Steve ScottCHANGE: we're so happy with recent progress that we're reloading shot 14. Also, LH changed its start time to 1.0 sec.

RESULT: disrupted 1.14.

Wolfe: "The locked mode follows the LH like a faithful dog", i.e. locked mode moved from 0.84 to 1.02 sec.

Tentative conclusion: LH is doing something to influence the current profile at a rational q-surface. Maybe we should change the LH phasing or its power
Aug 31 2010 02:45:44:543PM1100831022Steve ScottCHANGES: no physOp changes. LH will change the phasing. We may also choose to sacrifice a goat. LH start time returned to 0.8 sec.

Result: disrupted at 1.01 seconds.
Aug 31 2010 03:00:31:607PM1100831023Steve ScottCHANGE: make a more substantial change to RCUR (decrease by 2.5mm) which corresponds to a 5mm increase in the outer gap.

RESULT: some progress. disruption delayed until 1.46 sec, which is just
after the start of the Ip rampdown. Locked mode started at t=0.9 seconds.
Aug 31 2010 03:37:00:737PM1100831024Steve ScottCHANGES: reload shot 14 from today, but raise TF to 6.0 Tesla

RESULT: disrupted at 1.0 sec. Also, there seems to have been some
operator error: got only 5.8 Tesla. raise TF next shot.

Locked mode starts circa 0.95 sec.
Aug 31 2010 03:27:42:417PM1100831025Steve ScottCHANGES: raise TF from 5.8 to 6.2 Tesla and decrease RCUR by 2.5mm
Aug 31 2010 03:49:09:500PM1100831026Steve ScottCHANGES: no physop changes. LH may re-position the grill

RESULT: disrupted in rampdown, circa 1.54 seconds. Only a little LH.
Aug 31 2010 03:58:42:520PM1100831027Steve ScottCHANGES: reload shot 14. No physop changes from shot 14. LH may choose to reduce its power.
Aug 31 2010 04:28:18:470PM1100831028Steve ScottCHANGE: add offset of +0.0001 to B21_PROJ. Also, LH promises to reduce its power.

RESULT: disrupted 1.54 sec. locked mode at: 0.94 sec ... this is a little better than in previous shots.

Discussion: is this due to the lower LH power or to the change in A-coil? We decided to investigate effect of acoil offset on next shot.
Aug 31 2010 04:37:11:320PM1100831029Steve ScottCHANGE: increase B21_PROJ to 0.0002 Tesla (i.e. an increase of 0.0001 from value on previous shot)

RESULT: disrupted 1.49 and locked mode delayed until 1.01
Aug 31 2010 04:51:45:567PM1100831030Steve ScottCHANGE: increase offset on A-COIL (B21_PROJ) from 0.0002 to 0.0003 Tesla.

RESULT: disrupted at 1.46, locked mode at 0.93. so this seems to be a little worse than previous shot. So on next shot,return offset on Acoil back to 0.0002
Aug 31 2010 05:06:04:750PM1100831031Steve ScottCHANGES: set offset on Acoil (B21_PROJ) back to 0.0002.

RESULT: Locked mode moved earlier to circa 0.84, but disruption delayed until
after 1.5 sec.
