Title 218: Minimum rotation for hybrid/AI plasmas
Name:Pete Politzer () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Core Integration (Advanced Inductive) Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): --
Description: Determine the minimum rotation for hybrid operation.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Use co+counter NBI to control the toroidal torque and flow. Determine whether the rotation threshold for locking of plasma rotation can be reduced by improving the error field compensation.
Background: Low torque and rotation will be inherent characteristics of ITER. The accessibility of the hybrid scenario in low rotation plasmas may be limited by the interaction between the NTM and the wall.
