Title 213: QH-mode in hydrogen plasmas
Name:Punit Gohil () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Hydrogen Discharges Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): --
Description: Produce QH-mode plasmas in hydrogen discharges. Determine how the QH-mode and EHO properties compare with deuterium plasmas and also with standard ELMing H-mode plasmas in hydrogen.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Use counter-injected beams to produce QH-mode plasmas. Determine if QH-mode can be produced by co-NBI by gradually increasing the mix of co to counter beams. Document all possible edge quantities.
Background: The QH-mode plasmas in deuterium discharges have certain distinctive properties. How do these properties vary in hydrogen plasmas and can they provide an insight in to the physics of QH-mode plasmas? Resolving these issues is an important concern, especially for ITER in which the early operational phase will be with hydrogen plasmas.
