Name:Dmitry Rudakov () Affiliation:University of California, San Diego
Research Area:Boundary Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): J. Yu, J. Boedo, N. Brooks, M. Groth, T. Evans, M. Fenstermacher, E. Hollmann, C. Lasnier, A. Leonard, R. Moyer, P. Stangeby, J. Watkins, P. West, C. Wong
Description: Characterize ELM interactions with the main chamber wall under varying density/collisionality. Measure material erosion rates at the outer wall using MiMES.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Synchronize as many fast edge/pedestal as possible to get reliable relative timing measurements. Perform measurements of the radial and poloidal propagation of ELM pulses at 3-4 different normalized densities n/n_GW of 0.4-0.9. Perform material sample exposure with MiMES. Turn on I-coil during the last second of the shot to attempt ELM reduction.
Background:
Resource Requirements: 1 day experiment; LSN H-mode, 4 sources of NBI, I-coils
Diagnostic Requirements: All available fast edge and pedestal diagnostics; profile diagnostics
Analysis Requirements: --
Other Requirements: --
