Shot List
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If needed, begin the first several shots of the day with Thomson calibration or Hirex Sr. focusing.

*Equilibrium will be fixed to be the same as shot 1100308003 unless otherwise specified (USN)

Section I.- Current Dependence and Existence of Power Dependence

Begin with Repeat discharges from 1100308xxx

*** Shot 1 start with Locked mode from shot:1100909002
for Hirex Sr. Calibration

Plan for Shots (1-5)
Repeat of shots: 1100308019 (.6 MA, nl04=.6, 1MW ICRF)
1100308003 (.8 MA, nl04=.6, 1MW ICRF)
1100308020 (1.0 MA, nl04=.6, 1MW ICRF)
1100308021 (1.2 MA, nl04=.6, 1MW ICRF)

Plan for Shot 6
Locked Mode Calibration Shot. (Repeat of whatever discharge Hirex Sr people specify)

Plan for Shots (7-12)
Case 1: Target is .8 MA, nl04=.6 steady density, 2.5 MW ICRF Steady. (3 Good Injections)
Case 2: Target is .8 MA, nl04=.6 steady density, 4.0 MW ICRF Steady. (3 Good Injections)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Evaluate the impurity confinement time for the 4.0 MW Steady ICRF Case

If the power dependence is observed, then probe the high current and high density limits of this dependence (Part A). If the power dependence is not observed, then focus on I-mode. (Go to Section 3)

Section II. â?? Limits of the Power Dependence

(8-10 Shots)
Case 1: Target is 1.2 MA, nl04=.6 steady density, 4.0 MW ICRF (3 Good Injections)
- Reference shot: with different RF waveform
Case 2: Target is .8 MA nl04=1.2 steady density, 1.0 MW ICRF (3 Good Injections)
- Reference shot: with different RF waveform
Case 3: Target is .8 MA nl04=1.2 steady density, 4.0 MW ICRF (3 Good Injections)

Additions
Case 4: Target is .8 MA, nl04=1.2 ,steady density, 2.5 MW ICRF (3 Good Injections)
Case 5: Target is 1.2 MA nl04=.6 steady density, 2.5 MW ICRF (3 Good Injections)

Section III. â?? Regime Comparisons

(10 Shots)

The purpose is to obtain data in L-mode, I-mode, and H-mode. I already have a .8 MA EDA H-mode and it may be possible to obtain another one on Arturoâ??s rerun of the 1101013xxx run. Since all 3 of these exist at .8 MA, the purpose is to obtain discharges with very similar parameters in all three regimes to compare the core impurity confinement.

Case 1: First obtain a long steady state .8 MA I-mode with 3 injections
- Repeat shot:
- nl04~.8, Ip=.8 MA
Case2: Once obtained, reduce ICRF to approximately .5 MW, Run L-mode Case
Case3: Attempt to produce a .8 MA EDA H-mode. Repeat of shot 1100305019


If time permits, I-mode repeats

Case 1: 1091009009 (nl04~.75, 1.0 MA)
Case 2: L-mode at input power just below L-I threshold
Case 3: go to a 1.2 MA I-mode case

Summary of MP598.

We were able to obtain 30 shots during this run day despite cell access after almost every shot until shot 18 that were used to fix the E -port antenna. A number of interesting cases were acheived but were not neccesarily in the run plan. Due to issues with the camac crate for Hirex Jr., I was unable to get the confinement time that I needed to evaluate the power dependence and therefore was forced to scratch a large section of my run. I did however achieve a power scan which resulted in a .8 MA I-mode with about 3.3 MW of input power. The locked mode calibration shot that was needed for rotation data was difficult to obtain and took about 5 repeats until it was finally long enough for a velocity calibration. The focus of the run then shifted to repeating the discharage 1101014027 which was acheived and improved upon. This yielded good injection data into low collisionality H-mode which should be good data to analyze. After many attempts at .8 MA EDA, it was determined that the radiated power was too high and so the remainder of the run was dedicated to I-modes at 1.0 MA. The interesting shots of this run were:

Power Scan: (@ .8 MA)
1101014015, 1 MW at nl04=.65
1101014011, 2.5 MW at nl04~.65
1101014012, 3.3 MW I-mode

EDA H-mode:
1101014018 - good .6 MA EDA H-mode
1101014019 " " "

1101014029 - Probably 1.0 MA I-mode
1101014030 - Probably 1.0 MA I-mode

This run was in support of MP 598 Impurity Transport Studies in L and H-Mode Plasmas Using the Modified HIREX Sr. Spectrometer

The run began with an attempt to generate a locked mode for calibration of the hirex sr spectrometer. The first couple of shots did not yield a locked mode of sufficient length for the calibration. A locked mode shot was repeated several times through the day until a successful calibration was achieved.

The impurity injection experiment was continued through the remainder of the day. H-mode and possibly i-mode shots were included in the run. Refer to the SL summary.

There were a few problems through the day with bounces. None actually caused a fizzle, but an anticipatory correction did generate the single fizzle.

Session Leader Comments
Oct 14 2010 09:07:14:547AM1101014001Nathan HowardFirst shot is a locked mode for Hirex Sr. Calibration. E port has RF blip at 1.4 seconds.
Oct 14 2010 09:13:19:617AM1101014001Nathan HowardNo Argon on the locked mode. Repeating on the next shot.
Oct 14 2010 09:27:28:493AM1101014002Nathan HowardDisruption at .8ish, Looks like an injection of the non-calcium type. Calcium is focused now though so we will rerun this shot until we get the appropriate locked mode.
Oct 14 2010 09:38:25:233AM1101014003Nathan HowardSome Issue with RF power timing. No power shot
Oct 14 2010 10:04:21:843AM1101014004Nathan HowardMarginal Hirex Sr. Calibration
Oct 14 2010 10:10:35:013AM1101014005Nathan HowardGood first case .6 MA, nl04=.6
Oct 14 2010 10:18:19:300AM1101014005Nathan HowardNext shot target is the same except increase current to .8 MA
Oct 14 2010 10:26:46:420AM1101014006Nathan HowardLooks pretty good for the last 3 injections and since these are rerun shots. Moving on to the next case. 1.0 MA, nl04=.6, 1MW ICRF
Oct 14 2010 10:41:34:260AM1101014007Nathan HowardDensity was a little bit high for this discharge so I am going to repeat it. Also, the 4th injection was disturbuted by an unauthorized injection.
Oct 14 2010 11:05:37:440AM1101014008Nathan HowardThis shot looks pretty good. A couple of small RF trips but overall pretty good. Moving on to nl04=.6, 1.2 MA
Oct 14 2010 12:12:56:927PM1101014011Nathan HowardWent to the case of .6 nl04, .8 MA, and 2.5 MW. This shot looks good and so I am going to move to 4 MW of heating for the next shot.
Oct 14 2010 12:23:59:047PM1101014012Nathan HowardThis case got about 3.5 MW of heating and appears to have possibly gone into I-mode. This was a very good shot
Oct 14 2010 12:37:39:590PM1101014013Nathan HowardAttempted Locked mode again. Disrupted
Oct 14 2010 01:15:45:070PM1101014015Nathan Howardgood nl04=.6, Ip=.8 MA 5 good injections
Oct 14 2010 01:37:41:360PM1101014016Nathan HowardAttempt to recreate shot 1101013027. RF didnt behave and my injection was a little too big. I am going to repeat
Oct 14 2010 01:47:45:250PM1101014017Nathan HowardAttempted this .55 MA, low collisionality H-mode. Shot is just marginal. RF is tripping out a bit but I was able to get 2 injections into it.
Oct 14 2010 02:04:42:633PM1101014018Nathan HowardVery nice low collisionality H-mode. unfortunately...only one good injection (1.25)
Oct 14 2010 02:19:48:790PM1101014019Nathan HowardVery nice low collisionality H-mode. Two good injections at .85 and 1.25. The source time has changed from the L-mode injections
Oct 14 2010 02:30:13:843PM1101014020Nathan HowardFinally....we got a locked mode calibration that is good. I almost won 2 dollars from Matt...
Oct 14 2010 02:39:39:357PM1101014021Nathan HowardInstead of a nl04, .8 MA EDA H-mode we got a bunch of Elm-frees We are raising the density and repeating.
Oct 14 2010 02:52:10:870PM1101014022Nathan HowardThe raise in density seems to have helped but didnt have quite the RF that was needed. We are rerunning with a different RF combination
Oct 14 2010 03:01:59:900PM1101014023Nathan HowardFizzzzzzzle....
Oct 14 2010 03:24:49:167PM1101014024Nathan HowardAnother attempt at the .8 MA EDA H-mode. It was no good. Raising the density more and making the discharge slightly more lower null
Oct 14 2010 03:40:00:420PM1101014025Nathan HowardAnother attempt at the .8 MA EDA H-mode. It was no good. It appears as though it might have gone but the radiated power is much too high. I will have to get this after a boronization.
Oct 14 2010 03:54:01:340PM1101014026Nathan HowardAtttempt at a very low collisionality H-mode. (.4 MA) was no good.
Oct 14 2010 03:57:56:253PM1101014027Nathan HowardThere was some issue with reloading this shot. It is a target I-mode @ 1.0 MA from 1091009009. We will retry this shot.
Oct 14 2010 03:58:32:480PM1101014027Nathan HowardThere was some issue with loading this shot. It is a target I-mode @ 1.0 MA from 1091009009. We will retry this shot.
Oct 14 2010 04:19:30:540PM1101014028Nathan HowardAnother attempted I-mode. The density may be too high and we need to get RF to be steady. We will rerun with a lower density and hopefully steady RF.
Oct 14 2010 04:28:40:387PM1101014029Nathan HowardThis may be a marginal I-mode shot. The RF was good but only a little under demand.
