Session Leader Plan for 1110317 MP 649: Scaling of parallel impurity transport with Mi, q95 and vi This run will focus on running L-mode plasmas with large amounts of on-axis D(3He) mode-conversion and D(H) minority heating in order to reach high toroidal rotation speeds (~100 km/s). This run will be done at ~5.1 T with J-ANT at 50 MHz in D(3He) and D+E at 80 MHz for D(H) heating. These plasmas will be used to study the in/out ratio of molybdenum density on a flux surface thought to be driven by centrifugal force by using LBO Mo injections and examing the 2D emissivity distribution using XTOMO and AXUV diode arrays. A LSN plasma will be used since we're in reversed field and want to avoid H-mode. The current/density scans required by MP649 will be completed starting with a favorable target from 1110316 which will optimize mode-conversion flow-drive in I-modes. ***NO OVERNIGHT EC/DC**** GAS SETUP: ========== main-ion: D2 B-SIDE-LOWER: 3.0 psi Ne for seeding as necessary for PFC protection H-BOTTOM: 1.5 psi Ar for HIREXSR NINJA - D2, leave disabled but possible at higher nl04 shots ***3He puffing for ICRF*** ICRF: ========== J at 50 MHz 2-3 MW, D+E 80 MHz at 2-3 MW DIAGNOSTICS: ============ all Te and ne diagnostics (TCI, TS, GPC1, GPC2, FRC).

A very useful day. We got through all of the run plan and had time for a few shots to try for high Te. Between 1110316 and today I got a current scan from 0.7-1.3 MA by 100 kA at a range of densities and velocities. Now begins the immense amount of data analysis. Shots 001,006 and 022 were locked mode calibration shots. We made the same flub as before on shot 001 that we left the Ne on. We disabled B-SIDE-LOWER for 006 but then forgot to turn it back on. Earl just removed the puff from the target shot for 022. For 002-005 we worked to get back a demonstration shot yesterday, the 1110316019 reference. We then started the Ip and nl04 scans. 007-012 were 0.9 MA, nl04~0.65,0.47 013 was 0.7 MA, nl04~0.5 014-021 and 035-036 were 1.1 MA, nl04~0.95,0.67,0.8 023-034 were 1.3 MA, nl04~1.1,1.2,0.95,0.8,0.7 We had a number of issues with Mo injections, MARFEs and locked modes but not unexpected considering the parameter space we were covering. We had some trouble avoiding I-H transitions and limited the ICRF power coming from D+E. We saw the same issue as yesterday with the rotation hitting a limit and not scaling with the WMHD at the I-mode transition.

The machine ran reasonably well today, although there were quite a few early disruptions, mostly associated with natural impurity influxes/injections and/or locked modes. Nevertheless, a good number of high performance I-mode shots were produced, and the session leader run plan was essentially completed, covering 4 plasma currents from 0.7 to 1.3 MA, with density scans at each but the lowest current. Startups were reliable, with one fizzle, a few bouncers with early hard x-rays, and one shot with late breakdown that nevertheless ramped up. Minor tweaks to prefill and EF4 precharge current were made a couple of times. There was a short delay at the start of the day to resolve an ICRF breaker issue in the hi-yard. The cryo system interface PC had a problem after one of the shots, also causing a short delay. scorecard: Shot,Duration(s),Ipmax(MA),Result Shot,Duration(s),Ipmax,Result | 01 0.632 0.845 Plasma | 02 0.020 0.090 Fizzle | | 03 0.321 0.796 Plasma | 04 0.586 1.001 Plasma | | 05 1.512 1.057 Plasma | 06 1.797 0.806 Plasma | | 07 1.503 0.975 Plasma | 08 0.261 0.707 Plasma | | 09 1.950 0.922 Plasma | 10 1.691 0.923 Plasma | | 11 1.954 0.921 Plasma | 12 1.955 0.917 Plasma | | 13 1.950 0.719 Plasma | 14 1.535 1.138 Plasma | | 15 1.748 1.109 Plasma | 16 1.292 1.177 Plasma | | 17 0.615 1.137 Plasma | 18 1.607 1.117 Plasma | | 19 0.678 1.150 Plasma | 20 1.008 1.171 Plasma | | 21 1.951 1.119 Plasma | 22 1.861 0.804 Plasma | | 23 0.618 0.994 Plasma | 24 1.746 1.305 Plasma | | 25 1.747 1.286 Plasma | 26 1.535 1.304 Plasma | | 27 0.682 1.219 Plasma | 28 0.574 1.138 Plasma | | 29 1.488 1.380 Plasma | 30 0.582 1.124 Plasma | | 31 0.413 0.903 Plasma | 32 1.954 1.307 Plasma | | 33 0.826 1.350 Plasma | 34 0.816 1.368 Plasma | | 35 1.944 1.113 Plasma | 36 1.548 1.113 Plasma | 35 plasmas 1 fizzle 36 data cycles

Session Leader Comments
Mar 16 2011 05:11:14:733PM		Matt Reinke	reconsidered the overnight ECDC perform ECDC as done for 1110316
Mar 17 2011 09:24:56:893AM	1110317001	Matt Reinke	load the 1110316019 target with some tweaks to check machine/RF status D+E start at 1.0 LBO injectionst at 0.85 and 1.25 ***need to wait for J-ANT to warm up*** instead run the locked mode (no ICRF/no injections) loaded from 1110316021 RESULT: the Ne went in, forgot to disable B-SIDE-LOWER, early disruption. No locked mode. NEXT: move to ICRF target shot, turn on LBO
Mar 17 2011 09:32:18:217AM	1110317002	Matt Reinke	load the 1110316019 target with some tweaks to check machine/RF status D+E start at 1.0 LBO injectionst at 0.85 and 1.25 RESULT: fizzle NEXT: retry
Mar 17 2011 09:53:21:263AM	1110317003	Matt Reinke	retry the ICRF target RESULT: early disruption at ~0.3. Looks like there was an Fe injection. AXUV diodes and the hailstorm on the LH camera suggest it came from the A-PORT area. NEXT: repeat
Mar 17 2011 10:04:14:857AM	1110317004	Matt Reinke	still trying for target RESULT: early MARFE and disruption, Ar screams up and is ~x2 of the target shot. NEXT: reduce Ar (50 V) and repeat
Mar 17 2011 10:23:46:767AM	1110317005	Matt Reinke	trying for target shot RESULT: good repeat of ICRF example from 1110316. the target density reaches the same prior to the ICRF turn on then density rises a bit higher. The 0.85 injection is clean but the 1.25 was into the ~H-mode. NEXT: run the locked mode shot and then start the scans in the SL_PLAN
Mar 17 2011 10:39:14:260AM	1110317006	Matt Reinke	try for the HIREXSR locked mode calibration shot RESULT: great locked mode, velocity decays to ~+4 km/s so we're in good absolute velocity calibration NEXT: begin Ip/nl04 scans from SL_PLAN Ip=0.9, nl04=0.5
Mar 17 2011 10:56:00:500AM	1110317007	Matt Reinke	start the Ip/nl04 scan 0.9 MA, nl04=0.5 also put 70 V on the Ne puff. Forgot that I increased the pressure to give me some headroom at higher Ip RESULT: good RF but very poor density control also the Mo LBO's weren't significant NEXT: repeat with improved LBO, also increase Ar to 70 V to try and increase signal during ICRF pulse
Mar 17 2011 11:08:30:903AM	1110317008	Matt Reinke	retry the 900 kA shot RESULT: early injections, Mo and Fe NEXT: repeat
Mar 17 2011 11:24:32:523AM	1110317009	Matt Reinke	Ip=0.9, nl04=0.5 target RESULT: still bad LBO and had some large unauthorized Mo injections NEXT: repeat w/o D+E to try and remove big injections (from limiter heating?)
Mar 17 2011 11:31:43:407AM	1110317010	Matt Reinke	Ip=0.9, nl04=0.5 w/o D+E RESULT: nice steady plasma, the 0.85 injection is polluted but the 1.25 is good NEXT: increase nl04 to 0.7
Mar 17 2011 11:44:29:823AM	1110317011	Matt Reinke	Ip=0.9, nl04=0.7 RESULT: LBO's are right after the ICRF so we didn't get clean data NEXT: repeat but add another LBO at 1.05 to make sure data is collected
Mar 17 2011 11:54:43:587AM	1110317012	Matt Reinke	Ip=0.9,nl04=0.7 also noticed that we've been w/o the Ne puff since we did the LM (006) that might be what's causing some of the Mo problems. Will re-enable when going to high current. RESULT: good shot w/ 2 of the LBO's clean NEXT: move to lowest current point, Ip=0.7 and nl04=0.5
Mar 17 2011 12:10:30:173PM	1110317013	Matt Reinke	Ip=0.7 and nl04=0.5 RESULT: got two good Mo LBO NEXT: up to the high Ip points
Mar 17 2011 12:23:08:620PM	1110317014	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.1 MA, nl04=0.9 re-enable Ne puff and use the ICRF waveform from 009 NINJA firing at 1.1 seconds reducing back to 0.85 and 1.25 Mo LBO's RESULT: good injection at 0.85, but get an H-mode during the 2nd ICRF pulse NEXT: lower D+E power
Mar 17 2011 12:35:43:477PM	1110317015	Matt Reinke	repeat shot w/ lower D+E power (3.9 MW total w/ J) to avoid I/H transition RESULT: the 2nd LBO injection is once again masked by an unauthorized Mo. NEXT: lower D+E again to 3.5
Mar 17 2011 12:48:08:097PM	1110317016	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.1, nl04=0.9, lower D+E to avoid H-mode increase to x3 LBO's at 0.85, 1.15 and 1.35 to try and make up for my terrible luck with injections RESULT: early disruption, but the 1.15 injection is clean so move on NEXT: Ip=1.1, nl04=0.7
Mar 17 2011 01:03:20:580PM	1110317017	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.1, nl04=0.7 turn NINJA off, same ICRF pulse RESULT: locked mode ~ 0.48 NEXT: Have the PO tweak the nl04/ip ramp part of the shot and repeat
Mar 17 2011 01:18:21:197PM	1110317018	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.1,nl04=0.7 repeat w/ PO magical fixes RESULT: good shot, two of the LBO's are good NEXT: lower the target density to 0.5
Mar 17 2011 01:26:39:030PM	1110317019	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.1, nl04=0.5 RESULT: hit a locked mode and early disruption NEXT: move back up to nl04 to avoid the locked mode, increase the ICRF power to increase the temperature to lower the collisionality
Mar 17 2011 01:40:36:883PM	1110317020	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.1, nl04=0.7 but w/ increased D+E ICRF heating RESULT: disruption at ~1 sec due to a Mo injection that started just before D+E came on NEXT: repeat
Mar 17 2011 01:55:31:433PM	1110317021	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.1,nl04=0.7 RESULT: got two of the LBO's on this one, end of 1.1 MA shots NEXT: locked mode shot, then move to 1.3 MA
Mar 17 2011 02:02:08:370PM	1110317022	Matt Reinke	locked mode shot for HIREXSR calibration RESULT: good locked mode, voffset ~ +5 km/s NEXT: move to 1.3 MA, nl04~1.1
Mar 17 2011 02:16:37:980PM	1110317023	Matt Reinke	move to higher current portion of the run, start at high nl04 work toward locked mode level Ip=1.3, nl04=1.1 enable NINJA RESULT: early MARFE and disruption in current ramp, looks like nl04 is too high too early NEXT: PO adjustment of density rise and repeat
Mar 17 2011 02:35:25:390PM	1110317024	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=1.1 have J-ANT start at 0.5 seconds to assist RESULT: ICRF a little ratty and got a number of Mo injections and an H-mode in the 2nd pulse NEXT: repeat Ip=1.3 and nl04=1.1 with some tweaks
Mar 17 2011 02:44:04:903PM	1110317025	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=1.1 increase the Ip ramp slightly so flattop starts at 0.9 D+E reduce power and start at 1.1 LBO at 1.0 and 1.3 RESULT: looks like I didn't get I-mode, density too high NEXT: move to lower nl04
Mar 17 2011 02:57:12:970PM	1110317026	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=0.9 turn off NINJA RESULT: good shot, during most of the flattop but ended with a big Mo injection after 1.4 Both LBO's look clean NEXT: repeat w/ increase D+E ICRF power
Mar 17 2011 03:09:31:580PM	1110317027	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=0.9 w/ more D+E power RESULT: early disruption due to Mo injection NEXT: repeat
Mar 17 2011 03:21:50:407PM	1110317028	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=0.9 repeat again, now with Ian out of the room so it should work properly RESULT: another early Mo injection NEXT: PO tweaks and repeat
Mar 17 2011 03:36:05:250PM	1110317029	Matt Reinke	possible PO tweaks delay the ICRF start to 0.6 to let the divertor strike point locations "settle?" RESULT: good LBO's although the later ICRF is a little ratty NEXT: move to lower nl04
Mar 17 2011 03:46:48:480PM	1110317030	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=0.7 RESULT: early disruption due to Mo injection NEXT: repeat
Mar 17 2011 04:05:00:800PM	1110317031	Matt Reinke	another try at Ip=1.3, nl04=0.7 RESULT: Mo injection from ~K area. Seen on WIDE2 and IR camera NEXT: operate under the assumption that we've removed the offending part of the divertor and repeat
Mar 17 2011 04:14:36:657PM	1110317032	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=0.7 RESULT: excellent shot, made it through ramp down NEXT: slight increase in Ne and decrease target nl04 to 0.6
Mar 17 2011 04:25:40:663PM	1110317033	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=0.6 Ne to 85 V RESULT: Mo injection during J-ANT ICRF pulse from F/E divertor region NEXT: retry once more and then move back down to lower Ip
Mar 17 2011 04:36:09:187PM	1110317034	Matt Reinke	Ip=1.3, nl04=0.6 Ne to 100 V RESULT: another very similar early disruption, it wasn't meant to be... NEXT: repeat 021 from today and try to get steadier ICRF
