MP 553: Creation of reversed shear current profile using LH on low Ip plasmas

-----------------
Engineering Setup
-----------------

Run begins at 09:00 and ends at 18:00. NOTE THE EXTENDED RUN.

Power systems as on:1101119007

Acoil: +Dtop -Dbot -Jtop +Jbot (standard) Hybrid Enabled

Gas setup:

Fill B-Top with 6 psi D2 Hybrid enabled (PG4)
Fill B-side lower with 1 psi Ar Hybrid DISABLED (PG1)
Fill B-side upper with 15 psi He3 Hybrid ENABLED (PG2)
Fill B-main (C-side) with 40 psi D2 Hybrid ENABLED (PG3)
Leave NINJA as is DISABLED

Enable gate-valves and shutters: ECE, VUV, HiREX Sr, Xeus
Leave z-bolo shutter as is (should be open)

Torvac gatevalve toggle (yes/no): no

Boronization(yes/no): no
Overnight ECDC (yes/no): yes
ICRF(yes/no): yes, J@50 MHz, D+E@80 MHz
LH(yes/no): yes
Cryopump (yes/no): yes
DNB (yes/no): yes

Vessel temperature: 35/35/35

------------------------------
ECDC Parameters (if requested)
------------------------------
gas and pressure: D2 at 2e-4 Torr
sweep: 44/45/103 cm
scan: 20/120 s

------------------------------
Run plan
------------------------------
Reload 1101119007 (450kA, 5.4T, ne04=0.3) and add He3 puff to make 15% He concentration (suggested puff is 110-130ms). No LH on first shot. Adjust He3 puff to get mode conversion on axis.
