Title 328: Fast wave heating and current drive in AT plasmas
Name:Masanori Murakami () Affiliation:Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Research Area:Core Integration (Steady-State Scenario) Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): C. Petty, R. Pinsker, W. Heidbrink, W. Baity, and Adv. Scenario Develop groups
Description: (1) Robust coupling to AT plasma
(2) Characterize beam ion absorption of FW power at 90HZ and 60MHz
(3) Validate scenario modeling of FWCD in AT
Experimental Approach/Plan: 1) Reproduce shot #123159 and/or baseline NBI-plasmas ) [BT=1.85T, Ip=1.2 MA,nebar=3.5e19, NB=9.3 MW]
2) Study q0 control using co- and counter-FWCD in the AT plasmas.
3) Use PCS control of q0 if available. The push-pull operation with two ICRF systems is highly desirable.
Background:
Resource Requirements: Machine Time:1 day Experiment; after successful demonstration of FWCD in AT plasmas (for ICRF and PCS operation); minimum residual hydrogen
Number of gyrotrons: 4
Number of neutral beam sources: 5
Diagnostic Requirements: Fast ion diagnostic (UC, Irvine), edge reflectometer (UCLA)
Analysis Requirements: CURRAY/ONETWO, TRANSP, ONETWO; SciDAC-RF [AORSA/CQL3D; ORBIT-RF/TORIC, etc]; RANT3D
Other Requirements: Fast wave systems (90 and 60 MHz) required
