Description:
Experimental Approach/Plan: 1) Reproduce the small, upward-shifted plasmas (83300.03000) with the existing (horizontal) NBI. -2.1T/ 0.6 MA, ~10 MW. Bring the plasma back to mid-plane quickly (within 50-ms) to assure the MSE measurements.
2) Repeat the experiment with an opposite BT direction (this can be done in other Working Group)
3) Change the plasma conditions: reduce BT to 1.6 T (q95~5); Increase nebar to 6x10^19
Background:
Resource Requirements: Machine Time: 2 days, one day with positive (reverse) BT direction and the second day with negative (normal) BT direction (one day can be done in Advance Scenario Development area)
Number of gyrotrons: 4 desirable
Number of neutral beam sources: 7
Diagnostic Requirements: FIDA (UC, Irvine), MSE with counter-system (LLNL)
Analysis Requirements: Scenario modeling with TRANSP, NUBEAM/GLF23/ONETWO
Other Requirements: No
