Title 365: Visualization of 3-D SOL structures in RMP discharges
Name:Neil H Brooks () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Thermal Transport in the Plasma Boundary Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): I. Joseph
Description:
Experimental Approach/Plan:
Background: Some evidence for the 3-D structure around the core plasma has already been obtained experimentally. The LLNL tangential camera in the top of the vessel has seen stripe-like interactions with the dome in LSN plasmas and the fast pressure gauges in the upper plenums have detected pressure pulses during application of RMP coil current which are 30% as great as that observed in the pumping plenum of the active divertor. Also, the UCSD tangential fast framing camera has seen helical like structures in the outer edge.
Resource Requirements: Standard items for H-mode, RMP experiments: beams, i-coils, cryopumps
Diagnostic Requirements: DiMES TV, IR camera, lower tangential TV
Analysis Requirements: TRIP3D
Other Requirements: --
