Run 9512019, as set out in miniproposal 128, 'Nitrogen Injection Plume Study',
was a resounding success, yielding a veritable plethora of interesting results.
N-II, N-III, and He-II plumes over a range of plasma densities were observed and
recorded during Nitrogen and Helium injection at the inner-wall midplane.
Additionally, bright N-II plumes were observed during Nitrogen injection on the
outer divertor, inner divertor, and outer A-B limiter. In all cases, the
plumes were observed to flow in the expected direction (towards the strike
point). No shots were attempted with an upper x-point, primarily because
little success has been had with such shots recently. The Nitrogen puffs were,
unfortunately, observed to be perturbative (ideally these injections should be
'trace'), inducing detachment in the outer divertor even during low density
shots. The Helium puffs were also perturbative; being as such a large flow
rate was needed to observe He-II light, the Helium puffs were a not
insubstantial fueling source for the central plasma. While the N-II and He-II
emissions were bright enough to observe well, the N-III emission was
disappointingly faint. A N-I line (868 nm) was found to be substantially
bright, such that a filter at that wavelength will be ordered to observe N-I
emission plumes in the future. There was great success in getting Fast
Scanning Probe profiles.

Below is a shot by shot quick account of the run. The 'Plenum' column
indicates the gas and the pressure in torr in the NINJA plenum. The 'Cap'
column indicates the capillary(ies) puffed through. The 'Trig' column gives the
NINJA valve trigger time and pulse length. The comments column consists
primarily of comments on the plume quality, written in a special code. The 's'
or 't' after the shot number indicates whether it was the side or top Culham
Camera which was hooked up to the PC optical frame-grabber.

MP 128 -- Nitrogen Injection Plume Study

SL: D. Jablonski
PO: R. Granetz
EO: V. Bertolino

Today's run plan: Begin with fiducial shot. If necessary, adjust for desired
2 cm gaps and FSP compatibility. Puff in nitrogen from inboard midplane
NINJA capillary. Do 3 different densities (nl_04=1.0, 1.5, 2.0e20 m-2).
Vary puff location. Then puff in helium and repeat this program. As
time permits, repeat program with upper x-point plasmas.

Summary: Much of the planned program was accomplished, although we ran out of
time before we could do any upper x-point plasmas. Nitrogen and helium
were puffed from various locations at nl_04=0.8, 1.1, and 1.5e20 m-2, and
good plume data were obtained.

Misc Phys Op stuff: Some amount of gas-head work was required to obtain a
discharge without hard x-rays. In my opinion, the nitrogen did seem to
increase the probability of a flattop disruption. There were a few
engineering problems today, with some blown fuses. Overall it was a
typical run.

Scorecard: 34 plasmas
3 fizzles
3 duds (all due to various power supplies not turning on)
----------
40 total

Run setup: Normal ECDC in deuterium.
All power supply settings as for the last shot on Monday (951218034).
Deuterium in K-side at 20 psi (used to be A-side), enabled for hybrid.
Deuterium in B-top at 5 psi (puff pre-fill), enabled for hybrid.
Argon in B-side-lower at 4-5 psi, but not enabled.
NINJA plenum filled with nitrogen at 5 psi.
No RF, no pellets
Enable the ECE, VUV, Moly monitor, PCX, and TCX valves

PCS copied from fiducial shot 951218034 for segments 1 & 2,
and shot 951213025 for segment 3, which was a recent, successful
upper x-point discharge

Detailed shot log:

Shot 01 -- Fiducial shot. Good shot. (No ICRF). Inner gap=15 mm, outer
gap=17 mm. FSP control is not enabled yet.

Next shot: Increase CLEARIN by 3 mm. Tweak FSP demand to try for
zero error, but don't turn on any gain yet. FSP control will be
needed when we change to other densities. Also turn on nitrogen
puff from NINJA inboard midplane capillary.

Shot 02 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.74 s. Density was lower than previous
shot. Lots of moly x-rays early in shot. Inner gap=22 mm and
outer gap=25 mm. This equilibrium was too different from the
last one to make a good comparison on FSP control.

Next shot: reduce CLEARIN by 2 mm.

Shot 03 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.77 s. Density is low again, but almost
made it to the demand value. There were also some hard x-rays.
Inner gap=20 mm, outer gap=25 mm. Brian reports that the divertor
looks like it's detaching, even at this low density. It could be
the nitrogen puffing.

Next shot: tweak up early gas puff, and reduce CLEARIN by another
1 mm.

Shot 04 -- Plasma, made it to t=1.22 s. Density is still a little
low (nl_04=0.9e20 m-2). Almost no hard x-rays. There's still an
error on FSP wire.

Next shot: same shot, different nitrogen filter. Increase FSP
demand some more (still no gain though). Raise density a little
as well.

Shot 05 -- Plasma, but only lasted until 0.25 s. I think a chunk of molybdenum
fell in about 3 ms prior to the disruption.

Next shot: repeat with no changes.

Shot 06 -- Plasma, another early disruption. Density was even lower than
on previous shot.

Next shot: increase pre-pulse puff duration by 1 ms, and increase
early pulse-gas-3 voltage in segment 2.

Shot 07 -- Fizzle. PF breaker pulled out.

Next shot: decrease pre-pulse puff duration by 1 ms.

Shot 08 -- Plasma. Lasted until 1.21 s. Some hard x-rays. FSP error is
very close to zero.

Next shot: increase density to nl_04=1.5e20 m-2. Also tweak the
early pulse gas voltage. Also turn on active FSP control by setting
feedback gain to 4 at t=0.6 s.

Shot 09 -- Plasma. Lasted until 1.21 s. nl_04 got to 1.3e20 m-2.

Next shot: increase density to nl_04=2.0e20 m-2. Try to help the
density get there by also programming 20 volts on pulse-gas-4 from
t=0.5 to 0.9 s. Also reduce ZXL gain from 8 to 4 during the time
that FSP gain is on.

Shot 10 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.30 s.

Next shot: tweak up early pulse-gas-3 voltage.

Shot 11 -- Plasma. Lasted until 1.2 s. Density only made it to nl_04=1.5e20.

Next shot: increase pulse-gas-4 voltage from 20 to 60 volts from
t=0.5 to 0.9 s. Also decrease FSP demand by 5 mm (as requested
by Brian).

Shot 12 -- Plasma. Nearly the same density as the previous shot, even with
the increase in pulse-gas-4 voltage.

Next shot: increase FSP gain and reduce ZXL gain. Also increase
nl_04 demand from t=0.2 to 0.4 s.

Shot 13 -- Plasma.

Next shot: no nitrogen puff (background shot). Also tweaked FSP
demand.

Shot 14 -- Plasma. Good background shot. FSP position is near perfect.

Next shot: switch to helium puffing from the NINJA inner midplane.
No change in density.

Shot 15 -- Plasma. Helium plume seen, but not very bright.

Next shot: repeat with higher helium plenum pressure.

Shot 16 -- Dud. No power supplies. Engineering fault; magnet resistance fault.

Shot 17 -- Plasma. Good plume data.

Next shot: repeat with different helium filter

Shot 18 -- Dud. No EF3.

Next shot: try again.

Shot 19 -- Plasma.

Next shot: Reduce density to nl_04=1.0e20 m-2. (Turn off the
pulse-gas-4 voltage programming as well.) Continue helium puffing.

Shot 20 -- Plasma. Got nl_04=1.1e20 m-2. Plasma ramped nearly all the way
down (because the density was lower). Helium puffing with inboard
midplane NINJA capillary.

Next shot: repeat with different helium filter

Shot 21 -- Plasma. Same as last shot. It has just been noticed that the
PLC plenum screen mistakenly indicated deuterium, rather than
helium, in the NINJA plenum. Spectroscopic data verifies that
we have indeed been puffing helium though.

Next shot: switch back to nitrogen puffing and repeat same shot.

Shot 22 -- Plasma. Good shot.

Next shot: repeat, except puff nitrogen through an outer divertor
NINJA capillary.

Shot 23 -- Plasma. Great plume.

Next shot: repeat, except change the nitrogen filter.

Shot 24 -- Plasma. Disrupted at 0.67 s.

Next shot: repeat, except puff nitrogen through lower inboard
NINJA capillary.

Shot 25 -- Plasma. Disrupted at 0.69 s.

Next shot: repeat, except puff nitrogen through private flux zone
NINJA capillary. Also, the puff will be delayed 50 ms.

Shot 26 -- Plasma. Good shot. Density was very constant. No detachment,
no plume seen. Was there really a nitrogen puff? Yes, there was.

Next shot: repeat, except puff nitrogen through inboard midplane
capillary, with timing set back to normal (earlier by 50 ms).

Shot 27 -- Plasma. Good shot.

Next shot: raise density to nl_04=1.5e20 m-2. Puff nitrogen from
outboard limiter NINJA capillary. (Also re-enable extra gas
using pulse-gas-4 voltage programming.)

Shot 28 -- Plasma. Disrupted at 0.74 s. I think the nitrogen puffing may be
causing these disruptions.

Next shot: repeat, except puff nitrogen from outer divertor shelf.
Also, a tweak was made to the early density demand.

Shot 29 -- Plasma. Good plume.

Next shot: repeat, except puff nitrogen from lower inboard capillary

Shot 30 -- Plasma.

Next shot: lower density to nl_04=0.5e20 m-2 (and remove pulse-gas-4
voltage). Puff nitrogen from lower inboard capillary.

Shot 31 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.69 s. Still got acceptable plume data.

Next shot: repeat, with no impurity puffing.

Shot 32 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.41 s.

Next shot: raise density a little to nl_04=0.7e20 m-2. Turn on
NINJA nitrogen puff also.

Shot 33 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.57 s. Great plume, but only got one frame.

Next shot: raise density to nl_04=0.8e20 m-2. Puff nitrogen
from outboard limiter capillary.

Shot 34 -- Plasma. Made it all the way down. nl_04=0.8e20 m-2.

Next shot: repeat with nitrogen puff at inboard midplane.

Shot 35 -- Plasma. Another nice one. However, puff was from outboard
limiter, which was a mistake.

Next shot: repeat with nitrogen puff at inboard midplane.

Shot 36 -- Dud. No EF4.

Next shot: try again

Shot 37 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.74 s. Still got plume data.

Next shot: repeat with nitrogen puff from private flux zone.

Shot 38 -- Fizzle.

Next shot: try again.

Shot 39 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.56 s, before any plume data.

Next shot: puff helium from both inboard midplane and lower inboard
capillaries. Raise density to nl_04=1.0e20 m-2.

Shot 40 -- Fizzle. Chalk it up to disruption recovery.

Dec 19 1995 03:15:25:590PM951219032Robert GranetzShot 32 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.41 s.

Next shot: raise density a little to nl_04=0.7e20 m-2. Turn on
NINJA nitrogen puff also.

Dec 19 1995 03:25:01:350PM951219033Robert GranetzShot 33 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.57 s. Great plume, but only got one frame.

Next shot: raise density to nl_04=0.8e20 m-2. Puff nitrogen
from outboard limited capillary.

Dec 19 1995 03:32:14:540PM951219034Robert GranetzShot 34 -- Plasma. Made it all the way down. nl_04=0.8e20 m-2.

Next shot: repeat with nitrogen puff at inboard midplane.

Dec 19 1995 03:41:32:290PM951219035Robert GranetzShot 35 -- Plasma. Another nice one. However, puff was from outboard
limiter, which was a mistake.

Next shot: repeat with nitrogen puff at inboard midplane.

Dec 19 1995 03:51:45:650PM951219036Robert GranetzShot 36 -- Dud. No EF4.

Next shot: try again

Dec 19 1995 04:09:32:240PM951219037Robert GranetzShot 37 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.74 s. Still got plume data.

Next shot: repeat with nitrogen puff from private flux zone.

Dec 19 1995 04:36:52:850PM951219038Robert GranetzShot 38 -- Fizzle.

Next shot: try again.

Dec 19 1995 04:45:35:850PM951219039Robert GranetzShot 39 -- Plasma, disrupted at 0.56 s, before any plume data.

Next shot: puff helium from both inboard midplane and lower inboard
capillaries. Raise density to nl_04=1.0e20 m-2.

Dec 19 1995 05:08:50:090PM951219040Robert GranetzShot 40 -- Fizzle. Chalk it up to disruption recovery.
