Title 205: Characterization and optimization of advanced inductive and hybrid plasmas in the ITER configuration
Name:Pete Politzer () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:ITER Demonstration Discharges Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): --
Description: Assess the impact of ITER shape and other constraints on the performance of hybrid and AI plasmas. Determine the influence of ITER startup constraints and control constraints on the formation and maintenance of these plasmas.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Using the usual hybrid/AI recipe, apply (initially) only the ITER shape constraint. As the startup scenario is developed, incorporate that into the assessment. Similarly, when the capability of simulating the ITER PF controls becomes available, assess its impact on hybrid and AI plasmas.
Background: This is part of the development of a baseline set of ITER scenario demonstrations, to be used for evaluating the impact of ITER constraints and assessing future improvements.
