Title 441: Does the LH threshold go back up with strong ctr-NBI?
Name:T. C. Luce () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Transport Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): --
Description: A strong dependence of the L-H threshold power was observed when going from co-NBI to balanced to weak ctr-NBI. The question to be answered is whether the power threshold increases when negative torque equivalent to the co-NBI is applied. This would indicate perhaps that bulk rotation inhibits the transition.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Apply strong ctr-NBI torque to reversed Ip plasmas.
