This is MP 619: Effects of ICRF and LH on SOL density profiles.

There are two objectives of this MP. Firstly, the SOL reflectometer will be calibrated to other density profile diagnostics by varying the SOL density profiles as much as possible. Secondly, ICRF and/or LH will be added to see their effects on the SOL density profile.

Working gas: D2
No boronization and standard ECDC. ICRF and LH, and cryopump needed.

Required diagnostics are Thomson scattering, A and F port scanning probes, LH langmuir probes. Desired diagnostics are emissive/ion sensitive probes. A-coil will be needed for possible locked modes. DNB can be run if others desire.

Load shot 1101028029. A/F port scanning probes should scan at .8,1,1.3s. Repeated Shot may be necessary for Thomson scattering alignment; repeats will definitely be necessary so that the probes get into the separatrix.

LH Launcher position: .1mm
LH phasing: 90 degrees
LH power: 300kW
LH start and stop times: see below. Run for a bit more than half day.

Shot 1: nl04= .5 x 10^20 m-2. I=.6MA, LH at 300kW from .6 to .9s. D at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 2: nl04= .5 x 10^20 m-2. I=.8MA, LH at 300kW from .6 to .9s. D at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 3: nl04= .5 x 10^20 m-2. I=1MA, J at 500kW from .6 to .9s. E at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 4: nl04= .7 x 10^20 m-2. I=.8MA, LH at 300kW from .6 to .9s. D at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 5: nl04= .7 x 10^20 m-2. I=1MA, LH at 300kW from .6 to .9s. D at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 6: nl04= .7 x 10^20 m-2. I=1.2MA, J at 500kW from .6 to .9s. E at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 7: nl04= 1.1 x 10^20 m-2. I=.8MA, LH at 300kW from .6 to .9s. D at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 8: nl04= 1.1 x 10^20 m-2. I=1MA, J at 500kW from .6 to .9s. E at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 9: nl04= 1.1 x 10^20 m-2. I=1.2MA, J at 500kW from .6 to .9s. E at 500kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

A, F port scanning probes, and LH no longer needed after this. Choose best density and current after this.

Shot 10: D at 250kW from .6 to .9s. E at 250 kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.
Shot 11: D at 500kW from .6 to .9s. E at 500 kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

Shot 13: D at 1 MW from .6 to .9s. E at 1000 kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.
Shot 14: J at 500kW from .6 to .9s. D and E each at 250 kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.
Shot 15: J at 1 MW from .6 to .9s. D and E each at 500 kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.
Shot 16: J at 1.5MW from .6 to .9s. D and E each at 750 kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.
Shot 17: J at 2 MW from .6 to .9s. D and E each at 1000 kW from 1.1 to 1.4s.

------------------
Setup of first shot:
------------------

SL requests a load from 1101028029. This is a 5.4T 0.8MA USN discharge with
a cold cryopump. nl04 demand is 4e19; actual is 4--5e19. 75ms Ar puff in seg2.
This shot was a bouncer with a hard x-ray spike, which the PO (Wukitch)
subsequently tried to ameliorate with an increase in IC_EF4U. However he noted
that this delayed breakdown a bit, and recommended reversing the Bz change
and using a higher pre-fill pulse. I like this advice.

So, load from 1101028029. Increase PG3 pre-fill pulse from 45ms to 50ms.
Leave nl04 demand at 4e19, assuming that actual density will be higher.
Saved as shot 1101116101 in /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch/

As of 14:13, the LH group is beginning to calibrate, and it looks like we are
likely to proceed as planned. Load from 1101116101 in my scratch area.
Double-checking the SL's plan, I see that his first condition is 0.6MA.
Reduced Ip demand from -800000 to -600000 in Seg2.

Do load:

It was a good run. There were quite a few disruptions and a couple of fizzles, but 13 of the 17 (did not get to case 3,6,14 and 16) cases were done. Shots with 20MHz sampling rates had some issues. This may have affected case 2.

Cross calibration with the scanning probes were done for a wide range of densities (5.d19 < nl04 < 1.d20) and currents (600 to 1200 kA). For the standard efit mapping to midplane, the densities from the A and F port scanning probes looked lower than the reflectometer inverted densities. It is likely that the different locations of the probes give different SOL profiles. Other possibilities are poloidal asymmetries in the density profiles and/or significant mapping errors. The Thomson scattering data looks reasonable compared to the reflectometry data, but detailed averaging over the ohmic, ICRF, LH pulses is required for better comparisions. More analysis will be carried out.

From a physics point of view, a few trends were seen in previous piggyback runs, but were confirmed today. The increase in SOL density when the LH is turned on is minimal for lower line averaged densities, but significant at higher line averaged densities. Is this trend related to what we believe to be significant LH power being deposited in the SOL at higher line averaged densities? This will fit the story nicely. This trend has also been seen in other plasma geometries on other days.

The changes due to ICRF are not as apparent as the changes due to LH. This may possibly due to the fact that the SOL reflectometer is located a few ports away or because the ICRF has significantly more complicated SOL physics. There are some indications that it is lowering density in the far SOL and raising density in the near SOL. If this is the case, this will be consistent with experiments in previous tokamaks. Comparisons between different antennas and different ICRF powers will need to be done to check that this is the right picture.

Today was kind of a mixed bag operationally, but significant progress
was made on MP619.

We began the day with 2 no-power shots to test the gas pulse and to
verify TF scanner operation. Then we proceeded to the first part of
the MP, namely obtaining calibration points for the SOL
reflectometer. Of the 9 conditions specified in the run plan
(involving scans of density and current), 7 conditions were met:
#1,2,4,5,7,8 and 9.

We made no progress on discharges at Ip=1MA, nl04=4e19 (Condition 3),
or at Ip=1.2MA, nl04=7e19 (Condition 6). Shots 8 and 14 were attempts
to run these lower Greenwald fraction cases, and both disrupted early,
probably due to locked modes. In the interest of time we stopped
pursuing these conditions.

After shot 20 we proceeded to part II of the SL's plan, which involved
an investigation of ICRF effects on the SOL profile. He chose
basically to repeat shot 18 (Ip=0.8MA, nl04=0.9--1.0e20) with varying
levels of ICRF power from D and E separately, and then from J alone
and D and E stacked. We succeeded in obtaining cases 10,11,12,14 and
17 from the SL_PLAN.

There were some early hards and bounces on shots 4--6. I attempted to
combat this with increased PG3 (40%-->50%) before 100ms, and increased
PG4 pre-fill. Later, the PG3 pulse was returned to the 40% level
(starting with shot 19), with no negative consequence. Later in the
day, though, there was a particularly bad runaway shot, 030, which was
automatically shut down by DPCS at 0.18s. No clear operational cause
was found.

An additional issue with the starting USN equilibrium for today was
that the strikepoint was on the pumping slots, and seemed to heat up
some leading edges significantly at the end of the day in repeated 1MA
discharges. Disruptions on shots 27 and 28 were likely due to this,
and moving RXU in by a full 1cm appeared to remedy this for shots 29
and 31.

Finally there were some peculiarities in power supply behavior to
note. (1) First there is a oscillatory behavior in the EF1U
voltage. This was caught by Steve Wolfe today, though inspection by
Bill Cochran revealed that this behavior began over a week ago in the
middle of shot 1101105016. It does not appear to be interfering with
the proper operation of the machine, but it must still be
diagnosed. (2) More severe was an unexplained early crowbar on EF1U on
shot 22 that led to a nasty disruption. (3) Somewhat more banal is the
fact that the A-coils were accidentally turned off from shots 26 to 28
due to a contact not being reclosed after a cell access. It is
possible that this contributed to the disruptions on 27 (sawtoothing)
and/or 28 (not sawtoothing), but my guess is it was really just due to
heat flux in a bad place, as I note above.

Anyway, despite these problems, plus some data system hang-ups, it was
not a bad run day altogether.

Scorecard:
Total shots: 31
No power shots: 3
Duds: 1 (no OH or EF1)
Fizzles: 2
Plasmas disrupting in ramp-up: 4
Plasmas disrupting in flattop: 4
Plasmas to rampdown: 17

Session Leader Comments

Nov 16 2010 09:44:13:957AM 1101116003 Cornwall Lau plasma was good. Something is wrong with the reflectometer data here.

next shot: same plasma. Hopefully, probes will be fired and work as well as the reflectometer working

Nov 16 2010 09:58:25:043AM 1101116004 Cornwall Lau good shot. repeat once more for better probe coverage and for edge thomson data. reflectometer got good data this time when I moved back to 10MHz sampling rate and tightened some connections?

Dec 6 2010 12:35:29:563AM 1101116005 Cornwall Lau everything looked good:

next shot: moving on to #2 of run plan. Plots with comparisions to scanning probes and Thomson scattering are shown. Thomson fit has artificial 0 at .91. Yunxing tells me that when he put in 5x10^18 at .91, the fit matched even better inside the separatrix.

Feb 8 2011 01:36:47:590PM 1101116006 Cornwall Lau looks good.

next shot: repeat once more to get the probes in slightly deeper. 20MHz sampling rate is problematic. It seems that reflectometer data is shrunk to .5 to 1s. so .6 at reflectometer is really .7 etc.

keywords: data analysis problem

Nov 16 2010 03:40:16:703PM 1101116007 Cornwall Lau good shot.

next shot: moving on to #3 of run plan. E is having issues, so we are using D for 1.1 to 1.4s

Nov 16 2010 10:54:13:607AM 1101116008 Cornwall Lau disruption.

repeat next shot with 10MHz sampling rate.

Dec 6 2010 12:35:48:107AM 1101116012 Cornwall Lau good shot for #4

moving on to #5 of run plan

Plot is for LH at moderate densities.

Nov 16 2010 03:40:38:353PM 1101116013 Cornwall Lau good shot. let's move on to #6 of run plan.

Nov 16 2010 03:40:33:563PM 1101116014 Cornwall Lau high current low density shots are clearly problematic.

let's move on to #7 of run plan.

Dec 6 2010 08:30:02:097PM 1101116017 Cornwall Lau good shot. E was on at 1.1 to 1.4s since D is down.

moving on to #8 of run plan.

First plot is LH at high densities (notice the ionization). Second plot is E antenna at 800kA at nl04~.9. It can be noticed that for LH, at low densities, there isn't much ionization, while there is some at higher densities. Compare shots 5,12,17.

Apr 6 2011 07:18:27:663PM 1101116018 Cornwall Lau good shot.

moving on to #9 of run plan

plot is E antenna at 1000kA at nl04~.9. Second plot is of J antenna

Apr 6 2011 07:18:36:773PM 1101116020 Cornwall Lau looks good. Done with the probes for the day.

Moving on to different ICRF powers. plasma conditions are like shot 18. I= 1MA and nl04=.95 x 10^20

plot is E antenna at 1200kA at nl04~.9. Second plot is of J antenna. I think there is a current scaling here if we compare shots 17,18, and 20

Dec 6 2010 12:37:08:797AM 1101116023 Cornwall Lau good shot. moving on to #11 of run plan

First plot is D antenna and second plot is E antenna. ICRF power is 250kW

Dec 6 2010 12:37:32:043AM 1101116024 Cornwall Lau good shot. moving on to #12 on run plan. first times are D, second times are E

ICRF power is 500kW

Dec 6 2010 12:39:41:723AM 1101116025 Cornwall Lau good shot move on to #13. first times are D, second times are E
ICRF power is 750kW. Clear change can now be seen unlike the lower power cases. Higher power may be needed for larger changes. E seems to have more change?

Nov 16 2010 03:59:48:253PM 1101116026 Cornwall Lau plasma looks good. launcher was moving slowly and approximately at 18.5mm. There does not seem to be significant change with ICRF power. Let's move on to #14. Maybe I'll see more differences there.

Nov 16 2010 04:15:18:777PM 1101116027 Cornwall Lau disruption

next shot: same thing except upper x-point moving inwards a bit (something came off of upper divertor). as i just happen to start a new set of shots, this will not affect the comparisions at different ICRF powers

Nov 16 2010 04:25:45:097PM 1101116028 Cornwall Lau another disruption.

next shot: (temporarily?) skipping #14 and moving to #15

Dec 6 2010 08:32:21:650PM 1101116029 Cornwall Lau good shot.

moving on to #17.

First picture is D/E at 1MW total and second picture is J at 1MW.

Dec 6 2010 08:33:15:753PM 1101116031 Cornwall Lau good shot. did the 2MW case. last shot of the day. Thanks everyone.

First picture is D/E total at 2MW and second picture is J total at 2MW.

D/E increases density more at higher powers while J lowers density more at higher powers?

Nov 16 2010 01:22:57:940PM 1101116016 Jerry Hughes Shot 16:

Retry, but with a reduced density demand early

Change: Have the nl04 demand reach 0.9e20 at beginning of flattop, then
ramp to 1.1e20 by 1.5s.

Result: Plasma, full length. RF case was not obtained.

Backing off the early density demand seems to have
helped. PG3 is never full open, and so there is potentially room for
increasing the density.

Nov 16 2010 01:31:00:277PM 1101116017 Jerry Hughes Shot 17.

Retry to get RF data for SL.

Changes: Try to get the density up slightly sooner. Program nl04 wire to
reach 1.0e20 at 0.6s and ramp to 1.1e20 at 1.5s.

Load at 16-Nov-2010 13:21:42.00

Open tree done

Result: Fizzle. Apparently the cryopump burped.

Nov 16 2010 02:21:31:997PM 1101116020 Jerry Hughes Shot 20.

Retry for condition (9).

No changes.

Result: Plasma, full length.
SL is content with the data.

This shot railed EF1L, but we are going to lower Ip now, so I will ignore.

Nov 16 2010 02:30:51:733PM 1101116021 Jerry Hughes Shot 21.

Moving on to Part II of the run plan. SL likes shot 18 (1.0MA, nl04~0.9--1.0e20)

Change: IP demand in Seg 2 from -1.2e6 to -1.0e6. Also, ask for full current
at 0.25s instead of 0.35s.

Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1
Open tree done

Result: Disrupts at 0.59s. Looks like something fell in at 0.46s.
Startup ok.

Nov 16 2010 03:03:37:670PM 1101116022 Jerry Hughes Shot 22.

Retry.

Changes: Enabling B-side lower (Ar). PG1 pulse is already programmed
for 0.300--0.375s.

Result: Lost EF1L at 0.4s, disrupts at 0.57s.
A fuse had to be replaced in EF1U.

Nov 16 2010 03:13:33:223PM 1101116023 Jerry Hughes Shot 23.

Retry.

Result: Plasma, full length. This is case (10).

Nov 16 2010 03:28:25:620PM 1101116024 Jerry Hughes Shot 24.

Condition (11). No changes.

Result: Plasma, full length. D and E both fired. Injection at 0.71s doesn't do
any permanent damage.

Nov 16 2010 03:41:14:247PM 1101116025 Jerry Hughes Shot 25.

Case (12). No PO changes.

Result: Plasma, full length. D and E into the discharge separately.

Nov 16 2010 03:56:04:930PM 1101116026 Jerry Hughes Shot 26.

Case (13). No PO changes.

Result: Plasma, full length. D and E fire at the 1MW level.
LH launcher was moved back due to a misunderstanding, so SL's data may not
be so useful on this shot.

Nov 16 2010 04:20:24:913PM 1101116027 Jerry Hughes Shot 27.

Case (14). No PO changes.

Result: Disruption at 0.39s, following build up of Prad.
From WIDE2 there seem to be some hot spots on the pumping slots.

Nov 16 2010 04:32:27:277PM 1101116028 Jerry Hughes
Shot 28.

Change: Decrease RXU in Seg2 by 0.005m.

Load at 16-Nov-2010 16:18:14.00
Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1
Open tree done

Result: Still starts to radiate and disrupt at around the same times.
Perhaps not aggressive enough with the RXU change.
Also, Steve Wolfe notices the A-coil current has been off since shot 26.
This shot is not sawtoothing. Notably, though, shot 27 is.

Nov 16 2010 04:35:54:110PM 1101116029 Jerry Hughes Shot 29.

Changes: Decreased RXU another 0.005m.
A-coil turned back on. (It had been off since 26 due to a contactor
being left open after an access.)

Result: Plasma, full length. J@1MW, (D+E)@1MW

Nov 16 2010 04:53:52:473PM 1101116030 Jerry Hughes Shot 30.

Attempt case (17). No PO changes.

Results: Lots of early runaways, shot aborted by DPCS at 0.18s.

Nov 16 2010 05:00:46:013PM 1101116031 Jerry Hughes Shot 31

Retry. No PO changes.

Result: Plasma, full length. SL got his case (17).

Session Leader Comments
Nov 16 2010 09:44:13:957AM	1101116003	Cornwall Lau	plasma was good. Something is wrong with the reflectometer data here. next shot: same plasma. Hopefully, probes will be fired and work as well as the reflectometer working
Nov 16 2010 09:58:25:043AM	1101116004	Cornwall Lau	good shot. repeat once more for better probe coverage and for edge thomson data. reflectometer got good data this time when I moved back to 10MHz sampling rate and tightened some connections?
Dec 6 2010 12:35:29:563AM	1101116005	Cornwall Lau	everything looked good: next shot: moving on to #2 of run plan. Plots with comparisions to scanning probes and Thomson scattering are shown. Thomson fit has artificial 0 at .91. Yunxing tells me that when he put in 5x10^18 at .91, the fit matched even better inside the separatrix.
Feb 8 2011 01:36:47:590PM	1101116006	Cornwall Lau	looks good. next shot: repeat once more to get the probes in slightly deeper. 20MHz sampling rate is problematic. It seems that reflectometer data is shrunk to .5 to 1s. so .6 at reflectometer is really .7 etc. keywords: data analysis problem
Nov 16 2010 03:40:16:703PM	1101116007	Cornwall Lau	good shot. next shot: moving on to #3 of run plan. E is having issues, so we are using D for 1.1 to 1.4s
Nov 16 2010 10:54:13:607AM	1101116008	Cornwall Lau	disruption. repeat next shot with 10MHz sampling rate.
Dec 6 2010 12:35:48:107AM	1101116012	Cornwall Lau	good shot for #4 moving on to #5 of run plan Plot is for LH at moderate densities.
Nov 16 2010 03:40:38:353PM	1101116013	Cornwall Lau	good shot. let's move on to #6 of run plan.
Nov 16 2010 03:40:33:563PM	1101116014	Cornwall Lau	high current low density shots are clearly problematic. let's move on to #7 of run plan.
Dec 6 2010 08:30:02:097PM	1101116017	Cornwall Lau	good shot. E was on at 1.1 to 1.4s since D is down. moving on to #8 of run plan. First plot is LH at high densities (notice the ionization). Second plot is E antenna at 800kA at nl04~.9. It can be noticed that for LH, at low densities, there isn't much ionization, while there is some at higher densities. Compare shots 5,12,17.
Apr 6 2011 07:18:27:663PM	1101116018	Cornwall Lau	good shot. moving on to #9 of run plan plot is E antenna at 1000kA at nl04~.9. Second plot is of J antenna
Apr 6 2011 07:18:36:773PM	1101116020	Cornwall Lau	looks good. Done with the probes for the day. Moving on to different ICRF powers. plasma conditions are like shot 18. I= 1MA and nl04=.95 x 10^20 plot is E antenna at 1200kA at nl04~.9. Second plot is of J antenna. I think there is a current scaling here if we compare shots 17,18, and 20
Dec 6 2010 12:37:08:797AM	1101116023	Cornwall Lau	good shot. moving on to #11 of run plan First plot is D antenna and second plot is E antenna. ICRF power is 250kW
Dec 6 2010 12:37:32:043AM	1101116024	Cornwall Lau	good shot. moving on to #12 on run plan. first times are D, second times are E ICRF power is 500kW
Dec 6 2010 12:39:41:723AM	1101116025	Cornwall Lau	good shot move on to #13. first times are D, second times are E ICRF power is 750kW. Clear change can now be seen unlike the lower power cases. Higher power may be needed for larger changes. E seems to have more change?
Nov 16 2010 03:59:48:253PM	1101116026	Cornwall Lau	plasma looks good. launcher was moving slowly and approximately at 18.5mm. There does not seem to be significant change with ICRF power. Let's move on to #14. Maybe I'll see more differences there.
Nov 16 2010 04:15:18:777PM	1101116027	Cornwall Lau	disruption next shot: same thing except upper x-point moving inwards a bit (something came off of upper divertor). as i just happen to start a new set of shots, this will not affect the comparisions at different ICRF powers
Nov 16 2010 04:25:45:097PM	1101116028	Cornwall Lau	another disruption. next shot: (temporarily?) skipping #14 and moving to #15
Dec 6 2010 08:32:21:650PM	1101116029	Cornwall Lau	good shot. moving on to #17. First picture is D/E at 1MW total and second picture is J at 1MW.
Dec 6 2010 08:33:15:753PM	1101116031	Cornwall Lau	good shot. did the 2MW case. last shot of the day. Thanks everyone. First picture is D/E total at 2MW and second picture is J total at 2MW. D/E increases density more at higher powers while J lowers density more at higher powers?

Physics Operator Comments
Nov 16 2010 09:06:47:730AM	1101116001	Jerry Hughes	Shot 1. Set up for 1st day gas test. Load from model (which I wrote last night). Save this in scratch area as 1101116102. Programmed PG3 in seg1 to come on 100% from -20ms to 100ms. Load at 16-Nov-2010 08:48:08.00 Result: Successful gas test. Big board still says shot 0.
Nov 16 2010 09:09:28:153AM	1101116002	Jerry Hughes	Shot 2: Restore the shot as set up yesterday, with PG3 puff in Seg 1 set to 40%. PCS: Load from 1101116102 in scratch area. >Load at 16-Nov-2010 09:00:52.00 >Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 >Open tree done Ready for plasma shot. Problem with the scanner requires a no-power shot. Result: Got gas again.
Nov 16 2010 09:34:17:870AM	1101116003	Jerry Hughes	Shot 3: Plasma attempt. Result: Plasma, full length. Got LH and RF. SL is satisfied with the nl04. Maybe a bit too much pre-fill. Equilibrium looks okay, though the strike point is on the pumping slots. SL needs a lab access.
Nov 16 2010 10:13:43:093AM	1101116004	Jerry Hughes	Shot 4. No changes. Result: Plasma, full length. Some early hards in the startup, followed by nasty injections before 0.6s.
Nov 16 2010 10:05:19:790AM	1101116005	Jerry Hughes	Shot 5: No changes. Result: Plasma, full length. Still significant early hards. Also an early bounce. SL is happy with the data. Check off condition 1.
Nov 16 2010 10:18:50:123AM	1101116006	Jerry Hughes	Shot 6. Raising IP demand in Seg2 from -600000 to -800000. Also increasing PG3 in seg1 from 40% to 50%. Load at 16-Nov-2010 10:09:07.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Plasma, disrupted in ramp-down. Got D-port. Got LH. Still have an early bounce
Nov 16 2010 10:29:36:837AM	1101116007	Jerry Hughes	Shot 7. SL wants a repeat. Changes: Increase PG4 puff in Seg 1 from 50ms to 53ms. Load at 16-Nov-2010 10:21:53.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Plasma, full length. Startup looks much better. SL is happy with data at this point. Check off condition 2.
Nov 16 2010 11:03:25:460AM	1101116008	Jerry Hughes	Shot 8. Moving on to condition (3). Change IP demand in seg2 from -800000 to -1000000. Load at 16-Nov-2010 10:33:21.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Disrupts during ramp-up. An alarming oscillation is seen on the EF1U voltage trace. However, it is found that this has been present since 1101105016, -0.5s!!
Nov 16 2010 11:17:14:487AM	1101116009	Jerry Hughes	Shot 9. Retry the shot. Changes: Increased nl04 demand to peak at 6e19 in the initial phase of seg2. Load at 16-Nov-2010 11:01:56.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Critical error in INIT. No power shot.
Nov 16 2010 11:33:06:130AM	1101116010	Jerry Hughes	Shot 10. No changes. Result: Fizzle. Fill pressure is higher than usual. Fields look okay. SL is watching the clock. We will move on to condition (4)
Nov 16 2010 12:11:56:957PM	1101116011	Jerry Hughes	Shot 11. Going to condition (4) of run plan. Changes: Load from shot 007 (0.8MA) and raise nl04 in seg2 to 6.5e19. No changes to pre-fill. Load at 16-Nov-2010 11:39:20.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: No plasma. OH and EF1 power supplies failed to operate.
Nov 16 2010 12:22:59:273PM	1101116012	Jerry Hughes	Shot 12. We will retry condition (4). Result: Plasma, full length. Resultant nl04 is slightly lower than demand. Startup looks decent. Despite the high pressure on the previous shot, it seems to be in a good range here with no changes.
Nov 16 2010 12:37:06:120PM	1101116013	Jerry Hughes	Shot 13. Go to condition (5). Changes: Changed IP in Seg 2 from -8e5 to -1e6. No changes to gas, nl04 program. Load at 16-Nov-2010 12:26:31.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Plasma, full length. Startup is ok. Bad early injection at 0.12s, but it recovers. SL is happy with the data.
Nov 16 2010 01:24:31:773PM	1101116014	Jerry Hughes	Shot 14 Moving to condition (6) Change: IP in Seg 2 from -1e6 to -1.2e6. No changes to gas or nl04 demand. Result: Disrupts at 0.74s. Looks like a locked mode, with some J-port included. Note: Looks like the G-side ratiomatic got knocked out at the end of this shot.
Nov 16 2010 12:56:15:180PM	1101116015	Jerry Hughes	Shot 15. Moving on to condition (7). Reload shot 12 (0.8MA) and change nl04 program in Seg 2 to 1.1e20. Load at 16-Nov-2010 12:55:41.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Reuslt:
Nov 16 2010 01:22:57:940PM	1101116016	Jerry Hughes	Shot 16: Retry, but with a reduced density demand early Change: Have the nl04 demand reach 0.9e20 at beginning of flattop, then ramp to 1.1e20 by 1.5s. Load at 16-Nov-2010 13:06:50.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Plasma, full length. RF case was not obtained. Backing off the early density demand seems to have helped. PG3 is never full open, and so there is potentially room for increasing the density.
Nov 16 2010 01:31:00:277PM	1101116017	Jerry Hughes	Shot 17. Retry to get RF data for SL. Changes: Try to get the density up slightly sooner. Program nl04 wire to reach 1.0e20 at 0.6s and ramp to 1.1e20 at 1.5s. Load at 16-Nov-2010 13:21:42.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Plasma, full length. Density in flattop is acceptable. SL is happy with the shot.
Nov 16 2010 01:45:59:163PM	1101116018	Jerry Hughes	Shot 18. Moving on to Condition (8) Changes: IP demand in Seg 2 from -8e5 to -1e6. No changes to gas or nl04 program yet. Load at 16-Nov-2010 13:32:43.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Plasma, full length. Density is very close to that previous shot. SL is satisfied. Moving on the Condition (9).
Nov 16 2010 01:56:10:443PM	1101116019	Jerry Hughes	Shot 19. Moving on to Condition (9). Change: IP demand in Seg 2 from -1e6 to -1.2e6. Also reduced PG3 in Seg 1 from 50% to 40%. No change to nl04 demand. Load at 16-Nov-2010 13:52:02.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Fizzle. Apparently the cryopump burped.
Nov 16 2010 02:21:31:997PM	1101116020	Jerry Hughes	Shot 20. Retry for condition (9). No changes. Result: Plasma, full length. SL is content with the data. This shot railed EF1L, but we are going to lower Ip now, so I will ignore.
Nov 16 2010 02:30:51:733PM	1101116021	Jerry Hughes	Shot 21. Moving on to Part II of the run plan. SL likes shot 18 (1.0MA, nl04~0.9--1.0e20) Change: IP demand in Seg 2 from -1.2e6 to -1.0e6. Also, ask for full current at 0.25s instead of 0.35s. Load at 16-Nov-2010 14:18:04.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Disrupts at 0.59s. Looks like something fell in at 0.46s. Startup ok.
Nov 16 2010 03:03:37:670PM	1101116022	Jerry Hughes	Shot 22. Retry. Changes: Enabling B-side lower (Ar). PG1 pulse is already programmed for 0.300--0.375s. Result: Lost EF1L at 0.4s, disrupts at 0.57s. A fuse had to be replaced in EF1U.
Nov 16 2010 03:13:33:223PM	1101116023	Jerry Hughes	Shot 23. Retry. Result: Plasma, full length. This is case (10).
Nov 16 2010 03:28:25:620PM	1101116024	Jerry Hughes	Shot 24. Condition (11). No changes. Result: Plasma, full length. D and E both fired. Injection at 0.71s doesn't do any permanent damage.
Nov 16 2010 03:41:14:247PM	1101116025	Jerry Hughes	Shot 25. Case (12). No PO changes. Result: Plasma, full length. D and E into the discharge separately.
Nov 16 2010 03:56:04:930PM	1101116026	Jerry Hughes	Shot 26. Case (13). No PO changes. Result: Plasma, full length. D and E fire at the 1MW level. LH launcher was moved back due to a misunderstanding, so SL's data may not be so useful on this shot.
Nov 16 2010 04:20:24:913PM	1101116027	Jerry Hughes	Shot 27. Case (14). No PO changes. Result: Disruption at 0.39s, following build up of Prad. From WIDE2 there seem to be some hot spots on the pumping slots.
Nov 16 2010 04:32:27:277PM	1101116028	Jerry Hughes	Shot 28. Change: Decrease RXU in Seg2 by 0.005m. Load at 16-Nov-2010 16:18:14.00 Open tree /home/jwhughes/physop/pcs_scratch -1 Open tree done Result: Still starts to radiate and disrupt at around the same times. Perhaps not aggressive enough with the RXU change. Also, Steve Wolfe notices the A-coil current has been off since shot 26. This shot is not sawtoothing. Notably, though, shot 27 is.
Nov 16 2010 04:35:54:110PM	1101116029	Jerry Hughes	Shot 29. Changes: Decreased RXU another 0.005m. A-coil turned back on. (It had been off since 26 due to a contactor being left open after an access.) Result: Plasma, full length. J@1MW, (D+E)@1MW
Nov 16 2010 04:53:52:473PM	1101116030	Jerry Hughes	Shot 30. Attempt case (17). No PO changes. Results: Lots of early runaways, shot aborted by DPCS at 0.18s.
Nov 16 2010 05:00:46:013PM	1101116031	Jerry Hughes	Shot 31 Retry. No PO changes. Result: Plasma, full length. SL got his case (17). EOR
