Title 195: ECCD control of 2/1 NTM in ITER q95=3.2 shape
Name:Robert J. La Haye () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:NTM Stabilization Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): C. Petty, R. Prater, E. Strait
Description: Stabilize 2/1 NTM in low q95 plasma with large value
of rho21.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Produce the ITER Scenario 2 with q95=3.2, increase beta until the 2/1 mode occurs and stabilize or keep stable with off-axis ECCD at rho21=0.77.
Background: We have stabilized 2/1 in hybrid only and with q95=4.4 typically with rho21=0.66 or so.
Larger rho21 and lower rotation could make this more difficult in ITER.
Resource Requirements: 6 gyrotrons aimed at q=2 as ECCD efficiency will be lower at larger rho21.
Diagnostic Requirements: Standard.
Analysis Requirements: TORAY-GA
Other Requirements: --
