Title 302: Diagnostic spatial cross calibration using edge sweeps in QH-mode
Name:Keith Burrell () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:ELM Control & Pedestal Physics Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): C. Holcomb, G.R. McKee, W.M Solomon
Description: Perform spatial cross calibration of the CER, BES and MSE systems
using edge sweeps in QH-mode discharges
Experimental Approach/Plan: Run QH-mode discharges like 128542 with edge sweeps which change
Rmidout from 2.29 m to 2.16 m. Tune the CER system to look at the
Doppler-shifted D-alpha from the neutral beams. (BES and MSE already
view this wavelength). Modulate the beams to obtain the needed data.
The various beam combinations typically take 6 shots to complete.
Background: In order to successfully combine data from the CER, BES and MSE
systems for edge plasma studies, we need to know the relative spatial
calibration of these system to millimeter accuracy. This has been
done before using edge sweeps in QH-mode plasmas. This calibration
needs to be done again so that we can finally include the MSE views of
the 210 beam and so we can recalibrate the BES system after the work
done in the vent at the end of 2007. The MSE portion of the calibration
is particularly important, since the relative location of the 210
system relative to the other MSE systems has never been established.
