MP 702(2nd half day): Cold pulse modulation experiments
SL: cgao
PO: hughes

This half run day is to complete the first part of MP 702. If the run goes smoothly, we will move to the second part of MP702. First of all we will try locked mode shot for HiReX velocity calibration (ref: 1120607004). If locked mode is archived, we will move on to have shots with current and density scans with CaF2 injection from 0.7 - 1.5s, 10Hz.

MP697 - Shoelace Antenna: Survey of boundary plasma response (day 1.5, L-mode)

Half-day - carry-over from 1120619

The primary goal of the MP is to survey the L-mode edge plasma's response to the application of magnetic perturbations from C-Mod's new shoelace antenna system.

Diagnostic setup:
Full set of Mirnov coils
A-port scanning probe with magnetic head
F-port scanning probe
GPI, PCI, differential TCI, reflectometer
Edge Thomson (for EDA H-Mode)
Desired:
Edge Thomson
WASP probe
HIREX, CXRS for rotation

No DNB, ICRF, LH

Overnight ECDC in helium, standard parameters.

Start out: Base plasma from 1120619025
Density target of NL04=0.6

Run Plan

0. Establish plasma

1. Dynamic RGAP scan (1 shot)
Scan RGAP from 0.5-1.5 cm, 0.5-1.5 s. Same field and plasma current from 1120619025
Operate Shoelace antenna at 200 kHz fixed freq., 100 Hz amplitude modulation

2. q-scan, shot-to-shot (3 shots)
*Run Shoelace antenna with staircase frequency ramp, 50,100, and 150 kHz, and modulate amplitude at 100 Hz
*NINJA puff at 0.5 s so that GPI gets data for whole shot - compensate for density target
*RGAP = 0.5 cm
2.a: Reduce field so that q95=3.5
2.b: Modify field so that q95=4.5
2.c: Modify field so that q95=5.5

3. Dynamic q-scan (6 shots)
*RGAP=0.5 cm
3.a - scan q95 from 4 to 5 by ramping up toroidal field, scan Shoelace freq for 10 full triangle cycles in spec. freq. range.
i. Shoelace freq. range = 50-100 kHz
ii. Shoelace freq. range = 100-150 kHz
iii. Shoelace freq. range = 150-200 kHz
3.b - scan q95 from 3 to 4 by ramping up toroidal field, scan Shoelace freq for 10 full triangle cycles in spec. freq. range.
i. Shoelace freq. range = 50-100 kHz
ii. Shoelace freq. range = 100-150 kHz
iii. Shoelace freq. range = 150-200 kHz

4. Time-permiting, do a wide frequency scan from 40-300 kHz on Shoelace antenna, NL04=0.4 (last density scan point), RGAP=0.5 cm, q95=4.8 (Shot 1120619024 should meet these parameters, except for the lower density) (1 shot)

Run summary of 1120620 (2nd half run day, MP702)

We had 15 shots today. (#16 -- #30)

4 fizzles: #22,#23,#26,#29
3 disruptions: #20(0.9s), #21(0.58s), #25(0.47s)
2 locked mode shots: #16, #17
6 full plasma: #18,#19,#24,#27,#28,#30. Of them #18,#24,#27,#28,#30 are good shots for analysis.

(1) Locked mode

#16: good locked mode. But NINJA was on. So it's not perfect for HiReX calibration
#17: very good locked mode. 0.7s - 1.6s

(2) Ip = 0.55MA. Density scan: #18-#20
#18: Good shot. nl04~0.32. SOC. Counter-current rotation. Core Te dropped.
#19: nl04 programmed to 0.24. Density was perturbed too much, and lots of runaways.
reduced the LBO target size by 2.
#20: Disruption at 0.9. Non-thermal electrons for edge GPC channels.
restore LBO target size.

(3)Ip = 1.1MA. Density scan:#21-#30
#21: disruption
#22: post-disruption fizzle
#23: fizzle
#24: Good shot. nl04~0.54. Co-current rotation.LOC. Core Te increased.
#25: disruption
#26: post-disruption fizzle
#27: Good repeat of #24
Bt changed from 5.6T to 5.4T (for CECE)
#28: Good shot. nl04~1.00. SOC. Counter-current rotation. Core Te dropped.
#29: fizzle
increase the LBO target size by ~ 50%
#30: Good shot. nl04~1.20. SOC. Counter-current rotation(but very close to 0). Core Te dropped(channel 1&2 of GPC barely saw Te change).


Overall we had a very good density scan at 1.1MA(2 in LOC, 2 in SOC). We got a SOC shot for 0.55MA, but didn't succeed entering the LOC/low density for 0.55MA. Preliminary analysis shows the evidence of heat pinch for LOC regime. We need to be carefully with the effect of sawtooth on the FFT amplitude analysis.

This half run day was meant to finish the Shoelace survey begun on 1120619, given the problems the machine encountered early in the day. The specific targets of 1120620 were to

1. Complete a dynamic gap scan, so that we might compare data from the wall-mounted, fixed Mirnov coils to the magnetic head on the scanning probe.
2. Perform a q scan to in order to maximize the chance of observing with the GPI diagnostic fluctuations induced by the Shoelace antenna
3. Perform fast frequency scanning during slow, dynamic q scans to look for resonant responses.

Out of 15 attemps, we achieved 10 full-length plasmas, and managed to get through Parts 1 and 2 of the Run Plan, and 2/3 of Part 3.

Off to a clumsy start this morning. The first shot had no PF, which
didn't do a lot for breakdown. We then had a couple of weak fizzles
that seemed mysterious, until we realized the B-top plenum had been
loaded by mistake with He instead of D2. This was remedied by shot 4,
but then we had a recurrence of the common ACK failure that has been
plaguing us of late. Finally shot 5 went (with the EOs bypassing some
additional spurious warning). After that the machine behaved fairly
well, as long as I didn't ask it to do anything absurd.

In the morning I continued with the low-field startup that was
established yesterday. I observed a number of early bounces in this
startup, but most of them ran. I worked on getting the useful flattop
in these shots extended from 0.5 to 1.5s. This involved not only
getting the shape programming settled down by 0.5s, but also
accelerating the current ramp up to try to hasten
cross-over. Eventually we were able to bang out a large portion of
Ted's run plan.

Chi picked up the run starting with shot 16. I forgot to have
engineering reload correct power supply settings for the normal field
startup, but Steve Wolfe caught this, and we corrected it. We began
with some locked mode calibration shots. Interestingly we had NINJA
enabled by mistake on shot 16. This resulted in a density ramp in the
locked mode plasma, with the plasma staying locked thorugh
flattop. There was some good GPI data obtained on this shot. The puff
was turned off for shot 17, which produced a more conventional
locked-mode calibration.

After that we moved on the cold pulse experiments at varying current
and density. The first attempts were at 0.55MA, where some data were
obtained in the SOC regime. Accessing the LOC regime at the target
nl04 of 2.4e19 was very challenging. We mostly made a lot of very very
fast electrons, and had to give up after only a few shots. We moved
on quickly to 1.1MA shots, and after some struggling with
disruption-induced fizzles, we got some data for the SL at both high
and low density.

There were a number of alternator bearing warnings, mainly during the
afternoon. There was also a failure to store the bus Rogowski signals
on shot 26, which I understand to be a very rare event. No reason was
properly determined for this failure.

Scorecard
---------
30 total shots
18 plasmas into rampdown
3 early disruptions
6 fizzles (2 caused by incorrect gas in B-top)
1 Dud (power supply failure)
1 No power test

Jun 20 2012 10:24:15:207AM1120620005Theodore GolfinopoulosFirst plasma!

Density is ramping up from the NINJA puffs - Jim Terry will try to tweak a little bit.

Next: try the RGAP scan - ramp RGAP down from 1.5 to 0.5 cm
Jun 20 2012 10:54:15:127AM1120620006Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Freq.: 200 kHz, fixed
Amp.: 100 Hz amplitude modulation, amp_wave_w max value=230

Phys. Op. Jerry Hughes gave us a good RGAP scan from around 1.7 cm at 0.62 s to 0.15 cm at 1.5 s. Density is still ramping - varying density didn't have a big effect yesterday, however.

Next: Bring q95 down to 3.5 by changing toroidal field. Staircase Shoelace frequency from 50 -> 100 -> 150 kHz, with amplitude modulation. (Also, drop power level envelope at higher frequencies a bit to avoid tripping). This is part of our q scan for GPI. Jim doesn't think density ramp will affect GPI analysis too much, so we won't try to avoid it.
Jun 20 2012 11:09:26:553AM1120620007Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Freq.: Staircase, stepping up from 50 to 100 to 150 kHz
Amp.: 100 Hz AM, in amplitude envelope with amp_wave_w=260 for 50 kHz, 250 for 100 kHz, and 240 for 150 kHz

Result: q95 around 3.7

Next: we will try again, attempting to get RGAP stabilized by 0.6 s. Also, run Shoelace from 0.6 s to 1.5 s, giving equal time of the effective flattop to each of the frequencies.
Jun 20 2012 11:21:13:523AM1120620008Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Freq.: Staircase, stepping up from 50 to 100 to 150 kHz
Amp.: 100 Hz AM, in amplitude envelope with amp_wave_w=260 for 50 kHz, 250 for 100 kHz, and 240 for 150 kHz
Antenna is now run between 0.6 to 1.5 s, corresponding to GPI time window. This way, we have equal time on GPI for each frequency.

Result: RGAP stabilizes much earlier - good job, Jerry. q95 around 3.7 - good.
Where in Shot 6, we see the Shoelace on BP_EF_BOT, in Shots 7 and 8, we see no or little signal on this and other of the low-n coils.

Next: March in in scan of q95, varying toroidal field. Target 4.5. Also, try to keep RGAP stable out to 1.5 s.
Jun 20 2012 11:39:27:277AM1120620009Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Same as Shot 8
Freq.: Staircase, stepping up from 50 to 100 to 150 kHz
Amp.: 100 Hz AM, in amplitude envelope with amp_wave_w=260 for 50 kHz, 250 for 100 kHz, and 240 for 150 kHz
Antenna is now run between 0.6 to 1.5 s, corresponding to GPI time window. This way, we have equal time on GPI for each frequency.

Result: q95 around 4.5 - on target. We got an injection around 0.87-0.88 s - accept it and move on.
See Shoelace signal on BP_AB_TOP, a little on BP_EF_BOT, and not readily noticeable on BC_BOT or TOP.

Next: Last point in q95 scan - q95=5.5
Jun 20 2012 12:12:44:037PM1120620010Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Same as Shot 8
Freq.: Staircase, stepping up from 50 to 100 to 150 kHz
Amp.: 100 Hz AM, in amplitude envelope with amp_wave_w=260 for 50 kHz, 250 for 100 kHz, and 240 for 150 kHz
Antenna is now run between 0.6 to 1.5 s, corresponding to GPI time window. This way, we have equal time on GPI for each frequency.

Result: got a q95 around 5.3-5.4 - good. I think this wraps our shot-to-shot q scan - part 2 of run plan.

Next: dynamic q scan from q95=4 to q95=5. Fast scan of Shoelace frequency, 50 to 100 kHz in ten triangle wave cycles.
Jun 20 2012 12:36:26:840PM1120620011Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Freq.: Fast scan, 10 triangle wave cycles from 50 to 100 kHz
Amp.: Fixed (no amplitude modulation), amp_wave_w at 250

Result: we got a nice dynamic q scan from 3.7 to 4.9 - we'll stick with it for our next shot.
See Shoelace signal on BP_EF_BOT at beginning of shot (low q) but not end of shot. It looks like BP_AB_TOP has the opposite situation: you see the Shoelace signal more at the end of the shot (high q) than the beginning.

Doesn't look like we see any poles from the transfer functions.

Next: Same plasma, increase frequency range. Now, 100 to 150 kHz.

Transfer functions:

Jun 20 2012 12:13:26:020PM1120620012Theodore GolfinopoulosFizzle.

Next: Try again
Jun 20 2012 12:48:52:803PM1120620013Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Freq.: Fast scan, 10 triangle wave cycles from 100 to 150 kHz
Amp.: Fixed (no amplitude modulation), amp_wave_w at 240

Result: Again, BP_EF_BOT shows Shoelace at beginning of shot, and BP_AB_TOP shows it at end. So far, no indication of resonances in transfer functions.

Next: Increase frequency range to 150-200 kHz.
Jun 20 2012 01:06:07:120PM1120620014Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Freq.: Fast scan, 10 triangle wave cycles from 150 to 200 kHz
Amp.: Fixed (no amplitude modulation), amp_wave_w at 230

Result: Same pattern on BP_EF_BOT (shows Shoelace early in shot, low q) and BP_AB_TOP (shows Shoelace late, high q)

Next: q scan from 3 to 4, keep Shoelace at fast high frequency scan.
Jun 20 2012 01:04:56:487PM1120620015Theodore GolfinopoulosShoelace Operation Parameters:
Freq.: Fast scan, 10 triangle wave cycles from 150 to 200 kHz
Amp.: Fixed (no amplitude modulation), amp_wave_w at 230

Result: We got a good q scan, q95 from 3.1 to 4.

That's our last shot of the day - ceding to Chi Gao.

Next: 1.1MA, nl04 ~ 1.08*1e20. Lower the B field to 5.4T (for CECE)

Today we loaded the shots from 1120216, where the B field was 5.6T, different from 1120106 (B = 5.4T). So CECE doesn't see anything prior this shot.. My fault didn't check it carefully...
Jun 20 2012 05:10:25:463PM1120620028Chi Gaoplan: 1.1MA, nl04 ~ 1.08*1e20. SOC

Next: try again


Jun 20 2012 05:45:54:213PM1120620030Chi GaoBefore this shot, request to increas LBO target size by ~ 50%.

plan: 1.1MA, nl04 ~ 1.3*1e20. SOC

result: Good shot. SOC. Counter-current rotation (but close to 0. More co-current than shot#028.) Core Te drops(channel 1&2 the drop almost disappears)

Last shot of today's run.

Steve Wolfe points out that I forgot to have EO reload the power supply settings
consistent with the normal field startup. Have now asked Gary to load those
settings from 1120614028.

Result: Got the locked mode, but we neglected to disable the NINJA puff.
Interesting that it stays locked, even with density ramp.

do a heat pulse analysis under these conditions.

Jun 20 2012 02:51:54:790PM1120620021Jerry HughesShot 21.

Moving to the high current phase of the experiment:

Set Ip to -1.1e6A in flattop
Set nl04 to 5.4e19 in flattop
