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

Run begins at 09:00 and ends at 17:00
We will want to take at least one gas and data system test cycle
before 9AM. There is some possibility that the first plasma shot
may be delayed while Josh modifies some additional nodes in the
engineering tree.

Physop Plan
------------

The main goal today is to get reproducible ohmic plasmas and begin
machine conditioning and cleanup. We will start with LSN plasma as
on 1120427. If things go smoothly, then we will change over to upper
null discharges to begin conditioning the upper shelf. Diagnostic
checkout can piggyback if desired. ICRF may choose to begin checking out
the antennas if we are successful in getting reliable startups.


Start with a gas test. Note that Tommy will have changed out the B-main piezo,
so it may work without programming an extra-wide seg1 PG3 puff.

Take plasma program from 1120427032 (Ip=800kA, Bt=5.45T, nl04=8e19,LSN)
Make some minor tweaks to move the strike points around. If full length
pulses are obtained with some regularity, allow Argon puffing for HIREX.
Allow NINJA puffing (D2) as requested. Increase nl04 program to a level with significant D2 puff from pg3 during shot. Monitor H/D, Zave.

If time permits, change to USN discharge. Possible reference shot is
1120221008. Probably need to adjust nl04 feedback for non-cryopump
operation. Repeat conditioning sequence aiming for reproducible full length
800kA discharges.

Not a bad conditioning run.

The new B-main piezo valve did not seem to be an improvement,
and we took three gas test pulses to get it to open reliably.
It finally worked with an 80msec long 100V pulse.  
It may be a good idea to do another gas test tomorrow. 

The first plasma attempt was shot#4, which was successful, but 
had some runaways. 
We were getting reliable startups and full length plasmas early in the
day, less so after some disruptions as we went along. Target nl04
was increased to 9e19 in an effort to get more D2 into the system.
H/D started in the 0.3 range and then increased to 0.5 to 0.6; it
may have come down a little later in the day. M3/M4 on the RGA was around 1,
consistent with the spectroscopic measurement. There were numerous disruptions
in rampdown, but only a couple of flattop disruptions. These seemed to bring
up a lot of hydrocarbons (especially M16). Shot#28 disrupted hard
just into rampdown, and led to a series of fizzles. 

I did some playing with strikepoints, but never got to trying the USN
cases. See logbook entries for details. 

Runaways were a problem early in the day. PG4 got increased up to 22msec,
and the back porch on the pg3 in seg1 up to 60V. For much of the day
EF4 was at -1290. After the big disruption PG4 went back to 17msec
and EF4 back to -1300.  However, #33 fizzled again, so pg4 was set back to 19
for the last attempt, which started well and disrupted at EOF, with a
vertical instability possibly brought on by increasing li. 

TF cooling was somewhat problematic again today. The Aright vertical
seems not to be getting good coolant flow. 

Scorecard:
       Tests/no power     4
       Duds               1 (no TF)
       Fizzles            9

There's a lagging vertical leg A-left, cooling but very slowly. 
Apparently this is the same leg that caused the between shot cooling
to be slow on Friday. Presently at -152C 7:53AM


May 1 2012 08:46:52:540AM1120501001Steve Wolfe
Shot#1: Data cycle and gas test
No gas out pf B-main, pg4 looks fine. 

Next: increase pg3 puff in seg1 and try again

May 1 2012 09:02:06:873AM1120501002Steve Wolfe
Shot#2:  increase pg3 puff in seg1  to ~50msec at 100V and try again
Small puff from pg3 this time, only up to 4e-5.
Tommy did change the valve, but the new one seems less responsive
than the old one. 

I'm also not getting updates on rfpower net and neuts/hards

Next: Start seg1 pg3 puff at -.08

May 1 2012 09:07:13:170AM1120501003Steve Wolfe

Probably should drop the pg4, but leave it and see if it can handle
a 550kA disruption. 
I'm beginning to think the RCUR trace is because of a changed
offset on the Ip rogowski, which is starting slightly positive today

14 minutes in recool this time before peak TF gets to -162, 
waiting a little longer. 

plasma full length
some hesitation in current rise, not bad. 

Next: NINJA will puff around 1 sec on the next shot. 
Also, increase nl04 program from 7.5 to 9e19

fizzle. looks like a bounce around 14msec,
but it seems to be moving in. Ratiomatic signal is running high, .12mTorr,
