MP# 091 Non-recycling impurity screening study in diverted and
limited plasmas + some other impurity screening scaling studies

Physics Operator: Granetz
Session Leader: YWang
Engineering Operator: V. Bertolino/J. Daigle

The goal of this run is to finish the high density part of MP091 which
compares impurity screening between single null diverted and limited plasmas.
Since the run went better than we had expected and MP091 was completed before
the end of the day, an outer gap scan and a divertor strike points scan for
medium density diverted plasmas were carried out.

The following is a shot-by-shot description of the run.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This part of the run day started with shots 15 through shot 31

shot 15 -- Medium density (nl=1.2e20) shot to test the repeatability of the
system in comparison with the run 950316. Nothing out of ordinary happened.
Argon was injected at .5 sec with 30 ms long 90 V pulse at plenum pressure of
4psi. Good plasma.

shot 16 -- High density shot.(nl=1.7e20) Disrupted at .87sec. Argon pulse was
lenghthened to 35 ms. Scandium was injected but failed to get into the plasma
for some unknown reasons. Diverted plasma.

shot 17 -- Good plasma. Argon pulse was shortened to 30 ms. Good argon signal.
Zirconium was injected instead of scandium but still failed to show up in the
plasma.

shot 18 -- Repeat last shot except methane was puff along with argon. Zirconium
was injected at .6 sec. Methane injection made no noticable change on the argon
signal.

shot 19 -- Repeat of last shot except the zirconium injection was moved to .75s.
Still saw no zirconium in plasma.

shot 20 -- Change to limited plasma at the same density. The plasma touched the
outer limiter. Good argon signal.

shot 21 -- Good limited plasma, no disruption.

shot 22 -- Repeat of the last shot, disrupted at .73 sec.

shot 23 -- Repeat of the last shot, disrupted at .58 sec.

shot 24 -- Repeat of the last shot. Dud.

shot 25 -- The density was lowered.(nl=1.2e20) Back to the diverted plasmas to
do outer gap scan. Plasma, disrupted at .73 sec. No methane injection.

shot 26 -- Repeat of the last shot. Good plasma. Outer gap was 2.2 cm.

shot 27 -- Good plasma. Outer gap was 1.7cm.

shot 28 -- Good plasma. Outer gap was 1.2cm.

shot 29 -- Good plasma. Outer gap was 0.7cm.

shot 30 -- The outer gap was moved back to 2.2cm. The outer strike point was
moved down 5 mm by moveing RXL inward. Good plasma shot.

shot 31 -- The outer strike point was moved further down to hit the floor plate.
Good plasma shot.
______________________________________________________________________________

Preliminary result:

1. For density of nl_04=1.7e20, the percentage of argon penetrated into the
plasma for a limited plasma is roughly 1.5 times that for a diverted plasma.

2. Argon screening shows no dependancy on outer gap.

3. Argon screening shows no dependancy on strike points location.

Run summary for 950519.

1st half -- MP 083a -- Test of Faraday polarimetry
2nd half -- MP 091 -- Limiter/Divertor comparison of impurities

SL: Jim Irby (1st half), Ying Wang (2nd half)
PO: R. Granetz
EO: V. Bertolino/J. Daigle

MP 083a requires running high density shots at several currents (0.4-0.8 MA),
and some shots with a 100 kA step in the current. Also a couple of
shots with steps in the density. Start with shot 950518007, with
density set at ne0=2.e20 m-3.

MP 091 requires running high density shots and toggling between limited
and diverted plasmas. Scandium (via laser blow-off) and argon
are the impurities that will be used.

NOTE: due to the use of the TCI as a Faraday polarimeter today, the density
feedback will have to done with the Z-meter wire. The Z-meter signal
is on hybrid input #83, and the central density is given by:

ne0 = sqrt(input_83) * 2.9e20 m-3
Thus
programmed demand = (ne0/2.9e20)**2

For ne0=2.0e20 m-3, wire 14 must be programmed for 0.48 Z-meter units.

Both halves of this run went pretty much as planned. Shots 1-14 were devoted
to checking out the Faraday rotation diagnostic, shots 15-31 were devoted to
various aspects of impurity screening measurements, and shot 32-39 were for
calibrating the impurity gas puffing valve. The machine ran very well today,
with no engineering problems. The laser ablation impurity injector did have
some problems, and that part of the screening measurements was not
accomplished, but everything else was. As found previously, argon screening
is no more than a factor of two different in similar limited vs diverted
configurations. A scan of the outer gap and a scan of the strike point
position showed no effect on argon screening in a moderate density (nl_04=
1.2e20 m-2), diverted plasma. Unfortunately, there was no time to do any
experiments with methane today.

Shot 01 -- Plasma. Good shot, ramped all the way down. Ne0=1.6e20 m-3,
perhaps because Zeff=1.7.
Next shot: put a fast 100 kA step in the current at 0.6 s (from
0.8 to 0.9 MA).

Shot 02 -- Plasma. Ramped all the way down. Step in current looks really
good, with a time response of about 30 ms.
Next shot: no changes.

There is a hold before the next shot while Jim Irby and C.H. Ma go
down to the cell to turn on some equipment for the Faraday rotation
measurement.

Shot 03 -- Plasma. Good shot. Good current step. Ne0=1.7e20 m-3.
TCI had a data acquisition failure...no data.
Next shot: no changes.

Shot 04 -- Plasma. Good shot. Good current step.
Next shot: change step in current to be 200 kA at 0.6 s (from
0.7 MA to 0.9 MA). Also enable LPI at 0.9 s.

Shot 05 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.63 s, due to hitting voltage rail on OH1.
We asked for a little too fast of a current ramp, I guess.
Next shot: put current step back to 100 kA (copy Ip programming
from shot 004).

Shot 06 -- Plasma, disrupted at 1.03 s. May have been due to lithium
pellet at 0.9 s. Good current step of 100 kA at 0.6 s.
Next shot: no changes.

There is a hold before the next shot while Jim Irby and C.H. Ma go
down to the cell to change a polarizer for the Faraday rotation measurement.

Shot 07 -- Plasma, disrupted at 1.00 s, probably by lithium pellet again.
Good current step. Faraday rotation is having a lot of electronic
noise problems.
Next shot: try killer gold-doped pellet at 0.8 s.

Shot 08 -- Plasma, lots of hard x-rays, disrupted 0.65 s.
Next shot: raise pre-fill from 1.8 to 2.0e-5 torr. Move killer
gold-doped (1-2 mg) lithium pellet injection to 0.9 s.

There is a hold before the next shot while Jim Irby and C.H. Ma go
down to the cell to check on the Faraday rotation diagnostic.

Shot 09 -- Plasma, good shot. No gold was seen, although small bits of
lithium did get in. Still a lot of noise on the Faraday diagnostic.
Next shot: no changes.

There is a hold before the next shot while Jim Irby and C.H. Ma go
down to the cell to check on the Faraday rotation diagnostic.

Shot 10 -- Plasma. Killed by gold-doped pellet at 0.918 s, but current quench
was not noticeably faster.
Next shot: repeat, except no lithium pellet injection.

Shot 11 -- Plasma, good shot.
Next shot: repeat, except with plain lithium pellet injection at
0.9 s (no gold).

Shot 12 -- Plasma, good shot. Medium size lithium pellet at 0.9 s.
Next shot: program in a factor of 2 jump in density, starting at
t=0.5 s. (from ne0=2.0 to 4.0e20 m-3)

Shot 13 -- Plasma, disrupted at 1.01 s due to lithium pellet. Density ramp
in center was unimpressive, to put it mildly, but there was a large
rise in the edge Thomson channels.
Next shot: program in a density jump from ne0=2.0 to 3.0e20 m-3.
No lithium pellet injection.

Shot 14 -- Plasma, good shot. Definitely saw something on the Faraday
rotation signal.

End of first half of run.

There's a break in the run while Jim Irby re-enables the interferometer for
density measurements.

Shot 15 -- Start of MP 091. Remove the jump in the plasma current, and
switch density feedback to use NL_04 instead of the Z-meter.
Set density to nl_04=1.2e20 m-2 and current to 0.8 MA, keeping
the same diverted configuration that we ran during the first
half of today. Program in a 30 ms argon puff from t=0.50 to 0.53 s.

Plasma, good shot. NL_04=1.2e20 m-2.
Next shot: increase density to nl_04=1.7e20 m-2, and stretch argon
pulse length from 30 to 35 ms.

Shot 16 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.87 s. Density made it to nl_04=1.7e20 m-2.
Next shot: shorten argon pulse from 35 to 30 ms.

Shot 17 -- Plasma, disrupted at 1.00 s. Good argon signal. No scandium.
Next shot: have both an argon puff and a methane puff.

Shot 18 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.86 s. Argon and methane puffed in, and
zirconium injected at 0.6 s.
Next shot: repeat, except move zirconium injection to 0.75 s,
and turn off methane puff.

Shot 19 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.88 s. Impurity injector does not seen
to be working today. Good argon signal.
Next shot: change to limited configuration. Program CLEARIN for
-0.05 (instead of 0.) and ZXL for -0.05 (instead of 0). Also
shorten argon pulse from 30 to 25 ms.

Shot 20 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.62 s. It was limited, but it touched the
outer limiter also. It was also just 2 mm out of range of the
fast scanning probe.
Next shot: move RCUR in by 8 mm and ZCUR down by 8 mm.

Shot 21 -- Plasma, good limited shot, no disruption. Fairly well limited
according to Brian's flush mount probes and a detailed flux
mapping. Argon is a factor of 2 higher than in shot 19 (the
last diverted shot).
Next shot: repeat, with the fast scanning probe enabled.

Shot 22 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.73 s, maybe due to a molybdenum injection.
Fast scanning probe got one scan of SOL.
Next shot: repeat, with methane puff enabled also.

Shot 23 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.58 s.
Next shot: try one more time, no changes.

Shot 24 -- Dud! No obvious reason why. Because of time constraints, we have
to give up on these limited plasmas now.
Next shot: back to diverted plasmas, at densities of nl_04=1.2e20.
Leave argon puff on, but turn off methane.

Shot 25 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.73 s. Unexplained injection or something.
Magnetics traq_2 failed, so no EFIT.
Next shot: repeat with no changes.

Shot 26 -- Plasma, good shot. Good argon signal. NL_04=1.2e20 m-2.
Outer gap is 2.2 cm.
Next shot: reduce outer gap to 1.5 cm by moving RCUR out by 3.5 mm.

Shot 27 -- Plasma, good shot. Good argon signal. Outer gap is 1.7 cm.
Next shot: reduce outer gap to 1.2 cm by moving RCUR out again
by another 2.5 mm.

Shot 28 -- Plasma, good shot. Good argon signal. Outer gap is 1.2 cm.
Next shot: reduce outer gap to 0.5 cm by moving RCUR out again
by a further 4 mm.

Shot 29 -- Plasma, good shot. Good argon signal. Outer gap is 0.7 cm.
Next shot: return to original outer gap (shot 026) and start
strike point scan. Do this by moving RXL in by 1 cm.

Ying Wang reports that this gap scan (shots 26 to 29, outer gap=22 to 7 mm)
showed virtually no variation in argon screening. There was, however, a
noticeable difference between argon content of shots 26 and 15. These were
identical shots, with the only difference being that 15 was the first shot
with argon today. Apparently, clean walls do indeed pump a little argon.

Shot 30 -- Plasma, good shot. Strike point moved down by 5 mm.
Next shot: move strike point further down by moving RXL in by
another 0.8 cm.

Shot 31 -- Plasma, good shot. Strike point moved further down and hit the
floor plate!

Ying Wang reports that there is virtually no variation in argon screening
with outer strike point position.

Last plasma shot of the run.

There will now be a number of gas calibration
test shots (no power supplies). The deuterium valve (A-side) and the
fizzle detector will be disabled. All argon and methane puffing will be
through the B-side-lower valve (pulse-gas-1, hybrid wire 15)

Shot 32 -- Argon, 4 psi, 90 volts, 30 ms pulse width
No gas went in. I should have done the pulse in segment 1, since
the pulse is requested to start at t=0 s.

Shot 33 -- Argon, 4 psi, 90 volts, 30 ms pulse width

Shot 34 -- Argon, 4 psi, 90 volts, 1.50 s pulse width
The pulse only lasted 100 ms, because segment 1 switches off
at t=0.1 s. Another screw up by yours truly. On the following
shots I'll delay the start of segment 2 as needed.

Shot 35 -- Methane, 3 psi, 100 volts, 100 ms pulse width
There was a gas fill fault. No gas was puffed.

Shot 36 -- Methane, 3 psi, 100 volts, 100 ms pulse width (retry)

Shot 37 -- Methane, 3 psi, 100 volts, 400 ms pulse width

Shot 38 -- Methane, 6.6 psi, 100 volts, 100 ms pulse width

Shot 39 -- Methane, 6.6 psi, 100 volts, 400 ms pulse width

May 19 1995 04:52:49:730PM950519033Robert GranetzShot 33 -- Argon, 4 psi, 90 volts, 30 ms pulse width

May 19 1995 04:58:21:090PM950519034Robert GranetzShot 34 -- Argon, 4 psi, 90 volts, 1.50 s pulse width

May 19 1995 05:08:25:220PM950519034Robert Granetz The pulse only lasted 100 ms, because segment 1 switches off
at t=0.1 s. Another screw up by yours truly.
