Title 18: Measure intrinsic rotation in the JET shape
Name:John Degrassie () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Rotation Physics Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): L.-G. Eriksson (EFDA)
Description: Operate ELMing ECH H-mode discharges in the JET identity shape in DIII-D and measure the intrinsic velocity profiles.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Run the JET shape with high BT and modest BetaN and make the standard intrinsic rotation measurements. The back end of the discharges can be used for near-balanced NBI intrinsic rotation studies also (proposal #14). When taking the dimensionless parameters to JET-size, BT invariably turns out to be in the 1T range. It seems possible to make an RF H-mode in JET at such a low BT but power delivered may be limited. So it is important to have modest BetaN to match.
Background:
Resource Requirements: ECH: 3 or more gyrotrons.
NBI: a) For the ECH intrinsic measurements only the diagnostic beams are needed: 30L, 33L/R.
b) to utilize the remainder of the shot for balanced beam intrinsic rotation at higher Beta we need at least 21R/L, with 15L/R desirable.
Diagnostic Requirements: standard for intrinsic rotation.
Analysis Requirements: --
Other Requirements: --
