| Title | 126: Dependence of ELM characteristics on toroidal rotation in hydrogen plasmas | ||
| Name: | Punit Gohil ( |
Affiliation: | General Atomics |
| Research Area: | Hydrogen Discharges | Presentation time: | Not requested | Co-Author(s): | -- |
| Description: | Determine the ELM behaviour and characteristics as a function of the toroidal rotation in hydrogen discharges. This is particularly important for ITER which is expected to operate at low toroidal rotation. Use different mixes of the co and counter beams to vary torque and document the ELM behaviour and characteristics. | ||
| Experimental Approach/Plan: | Produce H-mode plasmas in hydrogen discharges and then vary the toroidal rotation using different ratios of co to counter beams. Document the changes in the ELM characteristics and other plasma properties. | ||
| Background: | Knowledge of how the ELMs are affected by varying the toroidal rotation is an important issue in both deuterium and hydrogen plasmas. This experiment will aim to resolve this issue in hdrogen plasmas and us ethe knowledge gained to compare with deuterium plasmas to get a better understanding of the ELM properties. | ||
