Comments:

This run uses the experimental density profile from the double barrier shot, 1001220016 fixed at t=0.2s. The LH current is down and doesnt penetrate very far due to the high density and reduced accessibility. The reduced LH means there is more ohmic, which quickly reaches the axis bringing q to 1. It seems that keeping the density low in the region between the barriers is critical for non-inductive current sustainment in these types of discharges. For more information about the run see the input namelist.
