| Some progress, but not necessarily on MP 155. Up to 2.5 MW of RF power were coupled in for several hundred msec. Outer gap was put under hybrid control, feeding back on the RF loading. Plasma current was raised to 1 MA. Stored energy reached .15 MJ which is as high as we have gotten during this campaign. On the other hand, under these conditions, we should have reached .2 MJ - The H factors never got above 1.5. The culprit seemed to be radiated power which rose very quickly (as on 960828) despite boronization. Shot 18 was anomalous and interesting, as it had significant RF power, but very little heating and no H-mode. It followed several disruptions and the suspicion is that the H/D ratio was too high. Shots with clear H-modes, ELMfree and ELMy. 960830003 960830005 960830007 960830009 960830011 960830013 960830024 960830026 960830029 960830030 960830031 960830032 960830034 960830035 960830037 960830038 960830039 960830040 960830041 960830043 Impurity injection results (as reported by Terry et al.) 960830 005 injected Nb (~1/2 a spot) at .65 into H-mode - tau=64 ms 007 injected Nb (~1/2 a spot) at .65 into poor H-mode - tau=81 ms 011 injected Sc at .85 - didn't get in Sc doesn't get in 031 injected Zr at .8 into L-mode - tau=18 ms 032 injected Zr at .8 into L-mode - tau=~25 ms 034 injected Zr at .8 into H-mode - tau=infinite from .81-.85s 035 no injection 037 injected Zr at .8 just before H-mode - tau=31 ms 038 injected Zr at .8 and kicked it out of H-mode - tau=15 039 injected Zr at .8 accum. in ELM-free H-mode, then 32 ms in ELMY H-mode 040 injected Zr at .8 34 ms in ELMY H-mode (poor quality H-mode) 041 injected Zr at .8 37 ms in ELMY H-mode (poor quality H-mode) 041 injected Zr at .8 34 ms in ELMY H-mode (poor quality H-mode) The Run Plan was: 1.

| Physics operator summary for 960830 EO: Silva / Daigle PO: Goetz/Granetz SL: Greenwald This run was in support of MiniProposal #155 - H-Mode confinement scaling. The MP asks for a scan of 5 parameters; Ip, Bt, ne, kappa, Power. The plan was: 1. Begin with shot 960828019, re-establish operation 2. Raise Ip to 1 MA, set the target density to nebar=1.2e20 and start increasing Prf. 3. When good quality H-modes are obtained, begin an Ip scan. Ip =[0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4] at nebar=1.2, Bt=5.3, k=1.7, Prf=max and repeat with target nebar at 2.0 4. Then scan Bt Bt = [4.5, 4.9, 5.3, 5.7, 6.2] at nebar=1.2, Ip=1.0, k=1.7, Prf=max and repeat with target nebar at 2.0 Steps #1 and 2 were accomplished, with lots of ELM-free and ELM-y H-modes, but the quality of the H-modes was not good (H-factors=1.25-1.5), due to high radiated power fractions. Only Ip=0.8 and 1.0 MA plasmas were done today, all at 5.3 tesla. Machine operation was fairly good today, with more than half of the shots being plasmas. The RF had a difficult time keeping both transmitters on for the entire pulse. Some things discovered today: recovering from 1 MA disruptions was difficult, with 3-4 fizzles and duds occuring before the next good plasma. Engineering, computing, and diagnostics today: EF1L looks like it may have a bad gate pulse on 1 of the 12 SCR's. There were two duds due to magnet resistance faults. RF was regularly reaching 2.5 MW, but only for a portion of the RF pulse. Scorecard: 43 shots = 23 plasmas + 11 fizzles + 9 duds (2 due to PS faults.) Shot summary for Run 960830: Load 960828019 coldstart hybrid - all matrices respond Shot change result ____ _____ ______ 1 fizzle - b.d. @ .007; Br=.002; fill pressure lower than yesterday 2 prefill puff = 17msec; BR_0 dud - Br=.0025; operator flipped a sign offset = .0069 3 BR_0 offset = .0055; RCUR plasma - breakdown @ 14msec; 3 ELMfree offset = 7500 H-modes 4 RCUR offset = 7250 in segs 1 dud - fields look good; not enough gas and 2; RF_LOAD_E = -2000 5 prefill puff = 20msec plasma - breakdown @ .007; disruption @ .98 as o.gap goes to 0 6 RF_LOAD_E=-1750; P gain on fizzle - breakdown @ .007; null looks NL04 = 2 @ .59s good; must be too much dirt 7 prefill puff = 19msec plasma - breakdown @ .009; many ELMfree H-modes 8 CLEARIN=.002 during flattop; fizzle - strong - moves out and hits more PG3 during H-modes something @ .023 9 RCUR offset = 7500 in segment plasma - breakdown @ .016; terminated 1 prefill puff = 18msec early by OH2L fault.

MP 155 H-Mode confinement scaling The MP asks for a scan of 5 parameters; Ip, Bt, ne, kappa, Power. Given the current state of the machine, we should probably start by establishing operation under nominal conditions. So the plan is: 1. Begin with shot 960828019, re-establish operation 2. Raise Ip to 1 MA, set the target density to 1.2e20 (nebar!) and start increasing Prf. 3.When good quality H-modes are obtained, begin an Ip scan.

Then scan Bt Bt = [4.5, 4.9, 5.3, 5.7, 6.2] at nebar=1.2, Ip=1.0 (if possible at 4.5),k=1.7, Prf=max repeat with target nebar at 2.0 ------- We may want some small scan of Bt during the H-mode to get edge temperature profiles from the GPC. This needs to be coordinated with Amanda. | |
