MP671 "Investigation of dilution effects on turbulence and transport in low density ohmic plasmas"

The purpose of this run is to investigate the result that diluting the main ion species of the plasma with some lower Z ions results in reduced ion transport without having significant effects on electron transport. This will be done by measuring the impurity content of unseeded plasmas with the newly calibrated impurity diagnostics (based on MP 687) and then seeding the plasmas with Nitrogen in order to dilute the main ions by at least 15-20% (the level at which we see the effects on transport). Locked mode shots will be taken to calibrate HIREX-SR.

This MP was previously run on 1120210XXX, but Thomson problems limited how good the data was in the early part of that day and since accurate profiles are critical to this MP they needed to be re-ran. I would also like to get in a few more shots to complete my density scan. It would be better to run this later in the day so that Thomson profiles are more accurate.

Working Gas = D2
B = 5.4 T
Ip = 800 kA
NINJA: 8 PSI He^4 puff @ 1.4s (for GPI if J. Terry is around for it, if
not don't puff)
H-Bot: 1.5 psi Ar puff @ 0.4s for 75 ms @ 100 V (for HIREX-SR)
B-Lower: 15 psi N2, voltages and duration to change with shots (typically
30V from 0.7-1.3s)
Equilibrium based on: Shot 1120210003 (Upper null)
Cryopump ON
DNB ON (if possible, not critical)

Shot Sequence:

* indicates high priority parts

Part 1 (1 shot) = HIREX-SR locked mode.
May not be necessary if done previously in the day. If it is necessary, do
based on shot 1120210004

Part 2 (1 shot) = Unseeded nl04~0.7
Repeat of shot 1120210012

Part 3 (1-2 shots) = Seeded nl04~0.7
Repeat best shot from part 2 of today with nl04 with 25V on B-lower, if
that doesn't change Zave then move to 35V on B-lower

*Part 4 (1 shot) = Unseeded nl04~0.6
Repeat of shot 1120210011

Part 5 (1 shot) = Unseeded nl04~0.5
Repeat of shot 1120210013 without N2

Part 6 (1-2 shots) = Seeded nl04~0.5
Repeat best shot of part 5 with 40V on B-lower, if that doesn't change
Zave then move to 50V on B-lower

*Part 7 (1 shot) = Unseeded nl04~0.4
Repeat of shot 1120210003

*Part 8 (1 shot) = Unseeded nl04~0.3
Repeat of shot 1120210007

*Part 9 (1-2 shots) = Seeded nl04~0.3
Repeat best shot of part 8 with 50V on B-lower, if that doesn't change
Zave then try 60V on B-lower

Total: 9-12 good shots (probably 10-15 in total)

Optional parts:

Part 9 at higher/lower puff voltage

Part 6 at higher/lower puff voltage

Note that this shot sequence is assuming that these are the first shots of the day. If this is not the case and time is limited then the important parts (ones with a *) should be done first.

Assuming some time is available during the MP671 run, we would like a few no plasma shots under an extension of MP677, "Micro-proposal for Faraday Rotation Tests". We would like to extend the range of MP677 to include tests of the EF and OH magnets:

TF --- 150 kA, PLC control (1111118030) ---- fizzle start to 1.0 s
EF4 double swing, hybrid control (1111118014)
OH commutation test, PLC control (1111118027)

Run Summary for MP671:"Investigation of dilution effects on turbulence and transport in low density ohmic plasmas"

The purpose of running today was to get better profile data and fill in some of the holes in parameter space from the last run for MP671 on 1120210XXX. MP677 took the first 7 shots and after that the liquid helium had to be replaced for the cryopump. We had shaping problems early on and that was found to be the result of a faulty flux loop (F13). After this was fixed, a few shots without Argon puffing were required to check things out. Shot 17 was the first good plasma shot.

Despite these issues, we were able to get several good shots. I was able to get my seeded density scan and the highest density unseeded case. We also saw a few rotation reversals induced by nitrogen puffing on shots 21 and 25. Though it appears that there is a narrow window between puffing enough nitrogen in a plasma to induce a rotation change and not puffing so much that you get detachment. Perhaps at higher current this window would be wider, but then the density would have to go up to get a plasma in the saturated regime.

Below is a summary of the good shots from today:

Shot | nl04 | PG1 V | Zave | Notes
===================================
17 | 0.65 | 0 | 2.2 |
-----------------------------------
18 | 0.63 | 0 | 2.3 |

19 | 0.65 | 25 | 2.3-2.7 | Small injection [0.79,0.86]
-----------------------------------
21 | 0.50 | 40 | 2.8-4.0 | Rotation reversal at 0.98s
-----------------------------------
22 | 0.34 | 40 | 4.9-6.4 | Density varies a bit
-----------------------------------
24 | 0.45 | 40 | 3.5-4.4 |
-----------------------------------
25 | 0.55 | 40 | 2.6-3.8 | Reversal at 1.0s
-----------------------------------
26 | 0.55 | 35 | 2.6-3.7 | No reversal despite being almost exactly the same as 25

001 TF at 150 kA
002 EF4 double swing --- low current relative to plasma shot
003 EF4 double swing --- asked for more current but got same as 002
004 EF4 double swing --- still low current --- no polar data
005 10 kA OH test with commutation
006 EF4 double swing --- much better --- -1.32 to +1.54 kA
007 EF4 double swing --- current abt the same as 006 --- FIR lasers unstable

TF: Affects the Faraday measurement during ramp-up and ramp-down but only at the 0.1 degree level during flat-top.

EF4: The effects of the EF4 at somewhat lower currents than we have during a plasma discharge were at the < 0.5 degree level.

OH: At the 10 kA with commutation, errors of approximately 0.3 degrees during ramp-down on chord 02, but virtually no effects seen during ramp-up. 0.5 degree shifts during ramp-up and ramp-down on chord 03.

Data was acquired for two miniproposals MP677, "Micro-proposal for Faraday Rotation Tests" and MP671 "Investigation of dilution effects on turbulence and transport in low density Ohmic plasmas" There were a couple of issues. There was a pause after completing MP677 while the cryopump was refilled with LHe. MP671 required the cryo. A flux loop (F13) became intermittent and required zapping.

The first experiment was based on MP677, "Micro-proposal for Faraday Rotation Tests" and was completed successfully in shots 001-007. These were no-plasma shots with TF or with EF4.

The second experiment was based on MP671 "Investigation of dilution effects on turbulence and transport in low density Ohmic plasmas" At the beginning of this part of the run, it was found that shot 1120210012 could not be reproduced. This was traced to flux loop f13 which was intermittent. Willy and Steve zapped it and brought it back to life. This occupied shots 008-014. During the remainder of this run, data was acquired to partially complete the work started during run 1120210.

Session Leader Comments
Feb 22 2012 09:18:13:887AM1120222001Jim IrbyGood 150 kA TF pulse

Chord02 flat during flat-top
Chord01,03 show 1 degree drifts
All chords show 1 to 2 degree shifts going into and out of flattop



Feb 22 2012 09:40:05:343AM1120222002Jim IrbyGood EF4 pulse at relatively low current compared to a real shot.

All chords see about 1 degree oscillation at 200 Hz. Large frequency meter excursion --- +-40 kHz at 200 Hz.

No slow drifts --- a good thing.

Will take a second shot with currents in EF4 closer to operating conditions.
Feb 22 2012 10:59:50:560AM1120222003Jim IrbyLooks like a repeat of shot 2 rather than higher current

Lost polar data for this shot...
Feb 22 2012 10:08:48:320AM1120222004Jim IrbyTry again for higher EF4 current --- still not correct

No polar data --- call to Jas/TWF --- enter cell and reboot

Feb 22 2012 10:38:25:873AM1120222005Jim Irby10 kA OH test with commutation --- looks good

frequency meter signal very quiet

about 0.2 degree shift at rampdown on chords 01 and 02, about 0.4 degee shift on chord 03.

0.5 degree shift on chord 03 at rampup


Feb 22 2012 10:56:16:617AM1120222006Jim IrbyTry EF4 double swing again

Much better --- +1.55 kA

frequency meter very quiet

chords 01 and 02 were quiet.
0.5 degree oscillation in chord 03 early (< .25 s)






Feb 22 2012 11:12:04:340AM1120222007Jim IrbyEF4 double swing -- -1.32 to +1.54 kA

Looks like lasers were losing lock, but levels low between glitchs.
