MP606: Measurements of Mode Converted Waves in D-H Plasmas with Phase Contrast Imaging

Bt: 5.4-5.7 T
Ip: 0.6-1.4 MA
nl04 ~ 0.6-1.2e20 m^-2

Working Gas Species: D2
Boronization Requested: No
Standard ECDC Overnight

Diagnostics:
Standard profile measurements, PCI, ECE, CNPA

--

The goal is to have measurements in steady rf heated plasmas, with optimum parameters for PCI. Run each antenna separately at different power levels and try to see the minority tail effects on wave damping. Try a few different plasma parameters as time permits.

--

1. Run similar plasmas with different rf waveforms to see minority tail effects
Start from 0.8 MA, 5.5 T, nl04 = 0.9e20 m^-2, LSN. RF waveforms:

D:0.6-0.9 s, E:0.9-1.2 s, J:1.2-1.5 s, 0.5 MW
J:0.6-0.9 s, E:0.9-1.2 s, D:1.2-1.5 s, 0.5 MW
D:0.6-0.9 s, J:0.9-1.2 s, E:1.2-1.5 s, 0.5 MW
D:0.6-1.5 s, 1.0 MW
E:0.6-1.5 s, 1.0 MW
J:0.6-1.5 s, 1.0 MW
*D:0.6-0.9 s, E:0.9-1.2 s, J:1.2-1.5 s, 1.0 MW
J:0.6-0.9 s, E:0.9-1.2 s, D:1.2-1.5 s, 1.0 MW
D:0.6-0.9 s, J:0.9-1.2 s, E:1.2-1.5 s, 1.0 MW
D:0.6-1.5 s, 1.3 MW
E:0.6-1.5 s, 1.3 MW
J:0.6-1.5 s, 2.0 MW

In H-modes, adjust Bt slightly up, if neccessary. Go to usn when the measurements are not successful.

2. Density scan
Run the waveform* with nl04 = 0.6, 1.2e20 m^-2

3. Current scan
Run the waveform* with Ip = 0.6, 1.2 MA (nl04 = 0.9e20 m^-2)

Started with LSN, 0.8 MA, 5.6 T, nl04 = 0.8e20 m^-2, 0.5 MW. We were already getting H-modes at this power level. PCI did see some fluctuations, but they were not very steady. Successful USN starting from shot 7, and fairly steady signal was observed for rf power of 0.5 MW (shot 7) and 1.0 MW (shot 8-13). High power part was not very successful due to rf faults. Only one shot at 1.5 MW, J antenna (shot 18). We started moving towards nl04 ~ 0.6e20 m^-2 from shot 23. D, E and J, full length at 1.0 MW (shot 23-31). Some J antenna phasing scan at the end. Strong phasing dependence was seen while shot 29 and 31 (both -90 degrees) were very similar.

Two shots were disrupted by mystery power supply trips. One by operator inadequacy. Other than that plasma ran all the way up and down.

Session Leader Comments
Oct 15 2010 09:18:30:827AM1101015001Naoto TsujiiGood signal from D antenna as usual.

Next: go to 5.6 T
Oct 15 2010 09:43:13:980AM1101015002Naoto TsujiiResonance locations are good. Getting H-modes, but still seeing decent signal on PCI. No QC?
Oct 15 2010 10:21:32:773AM1101015004Naoto TsujiiDensity lowered to nl04 ~ 0.8 (<- 0.9) before transition. Not much difference in the PCI signals.

Next: USN (to avoid H-modes)
Oct 15 2010 11:21:22:813AM1101015007Naoto TsujiiUSN. Good density trace at nl04 ~ 0.8. Steady signal from all 3 antennas.

Next: Go up to 1MW
Oct 15 2010 11:42:41:233AM1101015008Naoto Tsujii1MW shot. Steady after 1.0 s.
Oct 15 2010 12:36:08:880PM1101015013Naoto TsujiiGood shot.

Next: raise the power to 1.5 MW, D antenna full length
Oct 15 2010 02:45:15:590PM1101015022Naoto TsujiiMoving to parameter scan.

Next: nl04 ~ 0.6
Oct 15 2010 03:48:01:997PM1101015023Naoto TsujiiD antenna, 1.0 MW. nl04 ~ 0.7. Try to go a little lower.

PCI signal somewhat weaker compared to shot 8.
Oct 15 2010 03:53:55:037PM1101015026Naoto TsujiiE antenna. Not too much difference in PCI signal compared to earlier shots at higher density.
Oct 15 2010 04:39:38:837PM1101015028Naoto TsujiiJ antenna. Somewhat weaker signal compared to shot 12. H fraction seems to have increased about 1-2% from earlier shots.
Oct 15 2010 08:31:24:947PM1101015031Naoto TsujiiFrom shot 28-31, 180, -90, +90, -90. PCI signal very similar for shots 29 and 31.

Rename segment 2 to USN.
Oct 15 2010 10:48:22:010AM1101015005Ian HutchinsonPlasma disrupts at .35s. Caused by VDE.
Appears to arise because EF2L is saturated.

Move EF2byEF4 gain to .178.
Set clearin keyword to zxa=.394. Call.
Increase rxu gain. Decrease rxl gain.

Lower the early nl04 point to prevent over gassing, which stays in the machine.
Oct 15 2010 03:40:13:047PM1101015024Ian HutchinsonPlasma. Still slightly high density.

Taper off the gas puff in segment 1.
Oct 15 2010 04:38:32:160PM1101015028Ian HutchinsonPlasma to rampdown.

Noticed that the plasma is being thrown away just before 2s.
This is apparently caused by gain turn off of rxl, zxl, ... at 1.9s.
Move all those to 2 s. Load.
