| Session leader plan for 1120601
SL: G. Wallace PO: W. Rowan 1) Start from 1120530029. USN, 5.3 T, 800 kA. LH from 0.8-1.3 s, 50 kW/klystron, 40 kV, 90 deg phasing. Checkout of S.G. Baek's LH probe diagnostic as necessary. 2) Return to conditions from 1120518025. Increase LH power and pulse length carefully to 1.0 MW for 1.0 s without faulting. Adjust outer gap and launcher position to optimize coupling and power handling. Scan launched n|| and plasma current to avoid undesirable MHD activity. 3) If time allows, move LH earlier in the pulse to assess ability to run in the current ramp-up. |

| Run summary for 1120601
SL: G. Wallace PO: W. Rowan The run was overall quite a success. LH power was increased to ~900 kW for 750 ms. Not quite the 1 MW for 1 s benchmark we wanted but close. The first several shots were at high density (1-1.5e20) for checking out S.G. Baek's spectrum analyzer probe diagnostic. High power operation at high density proved a bit problematic. Increasing the outer gap to > 2cm seemed to help. Arcing appeared to be due to heating of B row septa which would then inject Fe, Mn, etc. Once we returned to low density the power increased readily all day. Good results were obtained at 90 and 75 deg phasing, but 60 deg phasing had high reflection coefficients and more breakdown on the plasma side. Saw some of the undesirable MHD activity but not as bad as on 1120518. Shots 28 and 29 had LH starting at 0.15 s. Shot 28 was at ~400 kW and ran through without issues. Shot 29 had ~600 kW and triggered the DPCS_XJUMP soft abort. In the future we need to consider turning off or desensitizing the runaway shutdown when we are doing LH in the early part of the current ramp. |

| This run was for MP605 "LH2 lower hybrid launcher checkout and conditioning" Session Leaders: SL: Greg Wallace and Syun'ichi Shiraiwa. In addition, MSE data was taken for current profile during LHCD.
The experiment consisted of four parts 1. Using shot 1120530029 (USN, 5.3 T, 800 kA.) as a starting point, a series of shots ( 001-014) was run with LH for diagnostic checkout. 2, Using shot 1120518025, as a starting point, a LH power scan (015 - 027) was run and coupling and power handling were optimized. 3. Two shots (028 and 029) were run to assess ability to apply LH in the current ramp-up. 4. A locked mode shot (030) was run for rotation calibration of the X-ray Imaging Diagnosic. The shot loaded for this was 1120517029. All shots produced useful plasmas but for one OH crowbar. (015). Later in the day, the shot rate was lengthened to 15 minutes due to concern about TF heating. Score Card 29 plasma 01 engineering: OH crowbar -------------- 30 total |

| Jun 1 2012 09:09:41:373AM | 1120601001 | Greg Wallace | Clean LH shot at 50 kW/klystron, 90 deg phasing. No issues on LH camera. Next shot will go up to 80 kW/klystron. Atma looks S & T. |

Cell access to allow SG to put in attenuation on his probe diagnostic. Next shot will increase to 120 kW/klystron. |
| Jun 1 2012 09:35:02:123AM | 1120601003 | Greg Wallace | Body current fault on klystron 7. No power. |

Go back to 120 kW/klystron for next shot. Also increase outer gap by another 2mm. |
| Jun 1 2012 10:34:11:197AM | 1120601007 | Greg Wallace | Problems again on the B row at 120 kW/klystron. Outer gap change was not loaded properly for this shot. Next shot will decrease to 100 kW/klystron and get proper outer gap programming. |

| Jun 1 2012 12:45:40:467PM | 1120601016 | Greg Wallace | Clean LH pulse at 100 kW/klystron, 90 deg. Low density, 500 kA discharge. Lots of current drive! Next shot will go up to 120 kW/klystron. |
| Jun 1 2012 01:00:55:190PM | 1120601017 | Greg Wallace | Clean LH pulse at 120 kW/klystron. About 0.3V steady. Go on to 140 kW/klystron for next shot. |

| Jun 1 2012 04:11:34:250PM | 1120601026 | Greg Wallace | Several faults at 60 deg phasing, 210 kW/klystron. Looks like breakdown on the plasma side. A small injection just before LH turns on, but probably not the cause of the problems. Will go back to 75 deg phasing, 210 kW/klystron for next shot and add extra beam pulse for MSE. Increase pulse length to 750 ms. |

| Jun 1 2012 08:48:04:737AM | Bill Rowan | LH timing request and beam timing request
MSE and polarimeter (current measurement) want a 100 ms period during BT and IP flatop. LH SL suggest that the period be provided before and after the LH pulse with allowance for beam off for mse just before the the LH pulse. LH will be from 0.7 to 1.2 DNB is operating with a 75ms on/25 ms off cycle. It turns on at 100, 200, etc. This should be consistent with requests | |

Plasma full length Timing LH. on at 0.7 and off at 1.2 s DNB. beam on at 0.7 s May be a "baseline issue" for H-bot. Not a problem for the shot because it is disabled. Next Correct the baseline on H-bot. |

| For 1120601
