MP 702(first part,half run day): Cold pulse modulation experiments
SL: cgao
PO: irby

This half run day is first part of MP 702. First of all we will try locked mode shot for HiReX velocity calibration (ref: 1120502009). If locked mode is archived, we will move on to have shots with current and density scans with CaF2 injection from 0.5 - 1.5s, 10Hz.

2nd half of run

MP676 and MP677 -------- Polarimeter Noise Level Tests

This run will quantify the polarimeter noise levels and possibly improve them before tomorrow's run with LH.

Startup from 1120601027 from last Friday's LH conditioning run

3-5 discharges to check on reproducibility --- Ip toggle late in discharge
2-3 discharges --- change TF start time and observe changes in polar noise level
2-3 discharges --- put in Ip ramp starting at 700 ms --- vary amplitude

SL_SUMMARY for the first half run: MP702

We tried 8 shots.
2 full-length shots (002,003)
1 shot no power (001)
1 early disruption (006)
4 fizzles (004,005,007,008)

Shot 2 is locked mode for hirex-sr caliration.
Shot 3 we got non-local effect on the temperature at low density (nl04~0.32) and low current (0.55MA).

After shot 8, there was connecting problem for HiReX. Also the time was limiting and CaF2 slide might not be able to last as many shots as we need, we decided to turn over the left of the run to MP 676/677. Hopefully we can get another half run day.

part 2 --- shots 09 to 25 --- Investigate Polarimeter Signal-to-Noise
Level with LH plasma parameters

We hoped to use this half day to produce plasmas similar to ones that
are useful for lower hybrid current drive experiments, and to see what
we could do to improve the polarimeter signal-to-noise. We began by
loading 1120601027 from last Friday in which the LH performed well.
Several discharges were produced w/o changing any plasma parameters to
assess the shot-to-shot variation in the polar signals. On shot 17 I
added a jog in the current at the 50 kA level. We were able to see the
jog on the polar signals, but it was really close to the
noise/vibrational level. On shot 18 we increased the TF from 5.44 to 6
T and found very little change in signal-to-noise or timing of the
vibrations. On shot 20 we changed the TF start time from -1 to -1.1 s.
This change actually improved the vibration levels around t=0, and
should make determination of the polar baselines easier.

We took a few shots at the end of the run at higher density and current
to be able to compare with earlier data. We also added a 300 kA down
ramp from 800 kA while keeping the density fairly constant. Not too
surpised to see this change very clearly on the polarimeter.

part 1 --- shots 01 to 08 ---- Cold Pulse

We had many problems during part 1 of this run day. We had several
issues with the data system, some of which were caused by the failure of
a data switch overnight. It was replaced during the night, but not all
servers were rebooted. So we had to both reboot the servers and restart
the Cycle. Figuring this problem out took a few shots. We also had
claims of ACK and IGOR failures, possibly related to the first problem.

We also had the recurrence of a problem with the OH2 supplies not
following their programming from the start (-1.1 s). The currents were
off by several hundred Amps by t=0. So we had several fizzles until
that issue was resolved (reset afols).

The first plasma shot today was a locked mode discharge. It ran
properly, but the argon level was not high enough for a good
calibration.

We had no fizzles during part 2 of the run, but had two disruptions,
both related to injections or overheating of some surface.

H/(H+D) got as low as 4% during when we raised the density to 1e20/m^2.
