Run plan for 1101221
SL: Y.Ma
P.O.: S.Shiraiwa

The goal of this run is to explore the effect of X-point location on H-mode power threshold and L-H transition in LSN plasmas. MP attached to this run is MP625.

To start with, the target magnetic geometry to be loaded is standard C-Mod LSN configuration, for example, that in shot 1101215023. Other plasma parameters are: BT=5.4T, Ip=0.9MA, nl04=0.8*1020m-2. The approximate total heating power required for H-mode access with this combination is minimum, about 1.5MW. RF power is slowly ramped up from 0.3MW to 3.0MW during Ip flattop. A sample ramp-up pattern can be referred to shot 1070807004.

After the first H-mode is achieved, and the associated Pth is calculated, the run will move forward with the X-point height scans in various conditions. First, plasma parameters (nl04, BT, Ip, kappa, delta, q95, etc) are maintained as in the target shot, then shift the plasma down (reduce ZXL) so that the outer striking point being placed on the floor. According to previous observations (run 1090824-27), Pth should be substantially decreased in this case. Then, with the striking point being kept on the floor (not necessarily to be fixed), scan a few ZXL (2~3) see if Pth would be greatly affected or not. It is trying to mock up the open divertor scenario as in JET (or so does the experiments done in MAST with closed divertor) by doing this.

Secondly, the outer striking point scan will be more systematically revisited (previous discovery in run 1090824-27 was incidental). The outer striking point will be dragged to 2~3 different locations on the outer divertor plate, correspondingly ZXL, RXL, lower triangularity (delta_lower), and outer leg length (Lo-div) will be co-varied. Among them, the variation of Lo-div and delta_lower will be more distinguishable and relevant here, such that Lo-div would be expected to continuously decrease, while delta_lower should decrease first then rise back up again, as the Zo-sp (vertical distance of outer striking point) increases (being moved up along the divertor plate). The variation of Pth from baseline (that of target shot) will be traced in each scenarios so that we attempt to tell which one(s) of delta_lower and Lo-div is associated with the power threshold and L-H transition physics, and how (parametric dependence).

In the third part, the Xpt will be moved inward to HFS direction until the outer striking point being placed on top of the inner shelf (EF1 pocket). The Lo-div is small and delta_lower is larger with this setup. Scan the ZXL at a few locations in this configuration.

After finishing the 3 steps above, try another density, say nl04=0.5 or nl04=1.1.The purpose is to verify whether the variation of Pth is absolute (i.e. constant in whatever environment) or fractional (i.e. proportional to the correspondent Pth)

Diagnostic Requirement:
Most of the key C-mod diagnostics are requested in this run, in particular, TS, ECE (GPC,GPC2, FRCECE). It is desired that GPC/GPC2 and FRCECE are configured with Te,95 measurements, and bolometer. Highly desired diagnostics include CXRS for edge Ti and rotation measurements, X-mode reflectormeter, and GPI.

Today's run is was to explore the Pth dependence on Xpt locations.
The run is successful, despite the one hour delay at the beginning.
The outer striking point was scanned from high Zsp on divertor tile to the floor (Zsp=0) through Xpt control. We have observed significant reduction in H-mode power threshold when the striking point was on the floor (~0.7MW), than it was placed on the tile (~1.5MW). So it suggest that the reduction can be as much as 50%! This result will be very promising if the it can be applied (proved to work) on ITER to assist H-mode access.

Since the shaping parameters (delta_lower,xpt loc, leg length, etc.) can not be independently varied, it's not clear so far which one plays the dominant role. Throughout the day, delta_lower was hold mostly in between 0.5~0.6, and kappa~1.5, but the leg lengths could differ by a factor of two between the on-divertor and on-floor striking configuration. The hypothesis based on the first look at data is that the longer (those on SP on floor) the outer leg length, the lower the Pth.

In addition, we have scanned the Xpt at several different locations with the striking point fixed on the floor. We do see the variation in Pth among this group of data, so this is a good starting point to test the hypothesis above.

Detailed data analysis will be carried out, and preliminary results will be reported on recent staff meeting.

The machine works well today. We made 24 full length discharges plus three disruptions (one during the flat-top and two during the current ramp-up)
During the morning, an problem on the voltage monitor of the alternator developed. But
did not results in a serious loss of discharges.

Today, we surveyed the H-mode threshold power dependence on the diverter geometory
in particular the length of diverter leg.
The control was mostly done by program of the lower X-point, the height of magnetic axis (ZCUR)
and the height of the upper X point. The outer gap was also adjusted to avoid plasma touching it
when ZCUR is off from the mid-plane by a large degree.

Shot 6 and shot 12 are two typical case of shot and long dirverter leg discharges, respectively.
