Description
|
|
Lower Hybrid
|
Randy Wilson (PPPL)
|
Covers issues associated
with commissioning the LH launcher; preparing target plasmas suitable for
LHCD; launching and absorption of LH waves; and direct LH effects including
heating and current drive.
|
|
Advanced
Tokamak
|
Amanda Hubbard
|
AT issues include
formation and control of internal transport barriers; control of transport
barriers through current profile control; RF Flow drive; current
profile modification techniques other than LHCD; j(r) measurements;
and long (~3 sec) discharges.
|
|
Burning Plasma
|
Steve
Wolfe
|
Includes issues that are
critical to producing a burning plasma in a tokamak, e.g., confinement
optimization in limiter and divertor configurations, scaling experiments,
density limits and profile control.
|
|
Transport
|
Martin Greenwald
|
The transport program
includes studies of edge fluctuations and stability including EDA and ELMy
H-modes and the role of turbulent transport in the density limit; the L/H
threshold and transition dynamics; the role of critical gradients and
marginal stability in core transport; ITB thresholds, dynamics, sustainment
and control; and the origin and role of rotation in systems without direct
momentum sources.
|
|
ICRF
|
Steve
Wukitch
|
ICRF issues include wave propagation
and absorption; mode conversion; directed waves and current drive;
wave-particle interactions per se and those that provoke a unique plasma
response (e.g. ITB's); and antenna behavior.
|
|
Divertor/Edge
|
Jim Terry
|
The divertor/edge program
includes: studies of main chamber and divertor recycling, SOL transport,
turbulence, and scalings, divertor power handling, plasma/surface
interactions and impurity generation, the physics of detachment, volume
recombination processes, opacity, and modeling of the divertor and edge.
|
|
MHD
|
Bob Granetz
|
The MHD Physics task
force covers MHD instabilities and disruptions
|
|
Basic Science
|
Bill Rowan
(U. Texas)
|
The Basic Science area
includes atomic physics and astrophysics-relevant studies that utilize the
plasma as a well diagnosed, hot light source.
