Physop_950424 Summary

Restart with Negative Toroidal Field

Overview
________

Got a plasma the first shot with a disruption. Then 1 fizzle but then
3 plasmas in a row. Early current ramp not fully tweaked. Recommend
raising the RCUR D to maximum in future.

Finished summary for 950424 Total of 7 shots.
7 shots. 4 plasmas. 1 fizzles. 2 duds.

Details
_______
Load segment 1 from 950331038
Load segment 2 from 950317024
Tweaked a few things.
p_0=2e-5.

1 PS test
2 PS test
3 Pla Disrupt at .92s. Density pushed a bit too hard.
Coil currents very close to previously loaded shot.

Back Nel04 to 1e20. No changes to segment 1.
4 Fiz Flux plots look better if anything than the previous shot.
But pretty similar.

OH1-V to 100V from 60V at 5ms, to slow the Bz rise in 5-10ms.
5 Pla Still a serious hesitation.

Adjusted the clearin ramp to be much more gentle at ramp down.
OH1-V to 120V at 5ms.
6 Pla Rampdown is fixed although a slight fin.

OH1-V to 90v at 10ms from 105V.
7 Pla Looks fime but the current hesitation is not fixed.
