Title 443: Run hybrid plasmas to the ideal MHD limit
Name:T. C. Luce () Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Core Integration (Advanced Inductive) Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): --
Description: Discharges with pre-emptive ECCD and active q=2 tracking achieved beta_N=3.4 which was at the no-wall n=1 limit. The beta was limited by the feedback request, not instability. The approach here is to add dynamic error field correction to ensure good rotation above the no-wall limit to stabilize the RWM, and ask for more.
Experimental Approach/Plan: Repeat previous discharge with pre-emptive ECCD and active tracking of q=2. Add dynamic error field correction. Ask for full power.
