We ended up with 11 dedicated run days of highly-ranked runs, which
somewhat exceeds the suggested allotment of 7 run days for the MHD topical
area.

All authors with proposals that are ranked High (H) should write up a
formal miniproposal (MP) for consideration by the C-Mod Experimental
Program Committee (EPC):

Wolfe:    LHCD effect on tearing mode stability 
Snipes:   NTM Stability at Low Collisionality 
Snipes:   Measurement of LHCD Effects on q(r) Through Stable and
            Unstable Alfvin Eigenmodes in the Current Flattop 
Snipes:   Measurement of LHCD Effects on q(r) Through Stable and
            Unstable Alfvin Eigenmodes in the Current Rise
Porkolab: Evolution of AT target plasmas and Alfven cascades during the
            current ramp and beyond with LHCD q-profile control 
Edlund:   Studies of Alfvin eigenmode excitation during the sawtooth
            cycle in low density plasmas 
Sears:    Damping rate of Toroidal Alfvin Eigenmodes at the threshold
            of stability in the presence of ICRF heated fast ions 
Granetz:  Real-time detection and gas jet mitigation of locked mode
            disruptions 
Granetz:  Determine minimum amount of gas required with Ar/He mixed gas jet
            disruption mitigation 
Whyte:    Disruption mitigation & opacity studies using D2 massive
            gas injection 
Hender:   Joint experiments with JET on non-resonant n=2 magnetic braking

Note that some of the MHD submissions have been combined.  Authors of these
proposals should confer and write up a joint MP:
  Whyte/Wesley
  Snipes/Porkolab
  Snipes/Wolfe

In addition, some of the MHD proposals have been recommended for other
topical areas.  Please consult the 'comments' column in the attached html
file for detailed information.

In a few cases, proposals that were categorized as "piggyback" will also   
require a written miniproposal.  Contact me if you have a question about   
that.

The next C-Mod EPC meeting is scheduled for Fri 19 Jan, but I don't think
that we will be entertaining new MPs yet at that meeting.

MP's should be submitted in PDF format (Word and TeX templates available
from http://www.psfc.mit.edu/cmod/operations/) to Corrinne Fogg
(fogg@psfc.mit.edu)
