Title 330: ITER accessibility to hybrid regime using RF
Name:Masanori Murakami () Affiliation:Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Research Area:ITER Demonstration Discharges Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): J.M. Park, R. Pinsker, W. Baity, D. Rasmussen, J. Hosea, C. Petty, et al.,
Description: 1) Study the accessibility of hybrid regime using substantial RF power in ITER-shape plasmas
2) Sustain q(0)>1 with FWCD while 3/2 or 4/3 tearing modes feedback stabilized
3) Gain experience of FW operation with ELMing H-mode with a relatively large gap
Experimental Approach/Plan: 1) Scenario modeling study to seek optimal strategy for accessibility and sustainment of hybrid scenario in ITER-shaped plasma in DIII-D
2) Reproduce shot like 119733, and apply counter-FWCD
3) Adjust power to find L-H threshold power, and lowest betaN for hybrid operation
4) Settle at a baseline (ITER-like) condition and characterize RF operation (optimal coupling, etc)
5) Study maintenance of q(0)>1 with FWCD while ECCD stabilize 3/2 or 4/3 NTM
