MP 704: observation of current density profile change in LH discharges with polarimeter system

We will continue running MP 704(partly done on 1120606,1120612) for the second half of the run day(1-5pm). During previous LH runs, the Polarimeter system responded to the current driven by LH with LH power scan, LH pulse window scan, density scan, LH phase scan. Today, we will do shot-to-shot Ip scan while keeping all the other plasma/LH parameters constant.

Setup TF field starting from -1.1s,to provide a quiet baseline for polarimetry measurements.

Summary for run 1120918014-1120918028(MP 704)

We got overall 15 shots with only 1 early disruption and 14 full plasma. LH worked well as requested, with minor faults for shots 16,27,28. Thanks to good plasma and LH, we sucessfully did a shot-to-shot Ip scan from 400KA to 950kA. We also repeated a LH phase scan shot(ref 1120912028) with a higher Ip~800kA.

The LHCD effect is observed by polarimeter, though the signal is noisier than last week.Today's shots should provide an good comparison and complementation for LHCD shots from previous run days.

shot list:

Bring up the LH power with Ip~500kA, nl_04~4e19(various shot by shot around target),LH phase=75deg
14: Ip~500kA, LH~500kW
15: Ip~500kA, LH~600kW
16: Ip~500kA, LH~700kW

Scan Ip while keeping LH~700kW
17: Ip~600kA(no TS density)
18: Ip~600kA
19: IP~800kA
20: early disuption
21: Ip~950kA
22: Ip~400kA
23: Ip~400kA
24: Ip~500kA
25: Ip~650kA
26: Ip~800kA

27: repeat shot 14 with IP~500kA, LH~500kW

28: LH phase scan(115->105->90->75deg) with LH~550kW

Beginning with shot 14 we switdhed to Peng Xu's part of the run:

MP704 - Observation of current density profile change in LH discharge with polarimeter system

15 shots were run, of which all but one ran without a hitch as programmed. The one outlier disrupted early.

for this part of the run, the machine ran well with no problems and no delays. Also, the LH system performed very well, with very few faults during the entire run.

Physop Summary from MP681

We had a delay to the start to thaw the TF valves that had frozen
overnight. The startup was reliable for the first 13 discharges with
010, 011 having significant bounces that went away without operator
action on 012 and 013. We were unable to accomplish the planned
experiment because E antenna FFTs arced at 300 kW forward power.
However we were able to investigate low Z seeding and the impact of He
GPI on RF performance using D and FA-J antenna.
