Modeling and Simulation

LH Coupling Code	Originally written by M. Brambilla[1] in Fortran, this code is well benchmarked by experiment and is used for modeling of lower hybrid wave coupling efficiency and spectra. This code was modified to use C-Mod's phase settings and produce an improved output file. Results from the code are compared directly to detailed experimental measurements.
CQL3D	A very complete Fokker-Planck solver for waves in plasmas written in Fortran by R.W. Harvey and M.G. McCoy[2]. It also has a coupled x-ray module for comparison to HXR camera results [3]. Requires Genray input.
DKE	Matlab code written by Y. Peysson and J. Decker[4] to solve the electron drift kinetic equation. In general a simpler model than CQL3D, which is also easier and faster to run. It also has a great HXR emission package that is useful for interpreting HXR camera measurements. Can use input rays from Genray, or a simple model for the damping may be input by the user.
Genray	Fortran code written by Smirnov[5] that solves the ray equations for plasma waves and computes their trajectories, using one of a number of dispersion relations. The ray trajectories and Maxwellian damping results are needed as input for CQL3D. It also includes a module for calculating the ECE emission.
MCNP	The standard Monte Carlo neutron and photon transport code[5] in the field of nuclear engineering. This code was used to determine the background energy spectra and flux of neutrons and photons at the location of the HXR camera. It was also used to study shield thickness requirements.
TRANSP	TRANSP is a time dependent global plasma transport code which can be used to either analyze transport coefficients for a given experimental disharge or used to predict plasma performance. TRANSP is maintained at PPPL by D. McCune and includes a number of modules such as NCLASS, TORIC, and LSC. Advanced tokamak scenarios for C-Mod were studied and web archived.
