Title 320: Control VH-mode density rise by RMP
Name:Michael J. Schaffer () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:General FS Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): Jackson?, Hyatt?
Description: Apply a non axisymmetric resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) field to a VH-mode plasma in an attempt to enhance cross-separatrix particle transport and limit VH-mode particle accumulation to a tolerable level.
Experimental Approach/Plan: --
Background: VH-mode has excellent confinement, but the particle confinement is so good that VH-mode is always terminated by excess density. Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMP) enhance particle transport across the separatrix. Therefore, RMP might limit the VH-mode particle accumulation to a tolerable level.
