| Description: | Vary collisionality and use the fast framing camera with gas puffing to study filament dynamics during L-mode and during inter-ELM H-mode. |
| Experimental Approach/Plan: | Gas puffing might be possible during the 2008 run using existing capillary gas lines located near the midplane. |
| Background: | The UCSD fast camera is a useful tool for studying and validating ELM and intermittent transport models. However, the existing camera is limited by emission intensity to a marginal frame rate of ~ 10,000 fps, while the maximum capability of the camera is > 100,000 fps. Using a gas puff system combined with the existing fast camera, edge turbulence, ELM, and RMP studies may be enhanced. This proposal does not require new hardware for gas puffing; instead, we would like to use any existing capillary gas lines located near the midplane within the fast camera field-of-view. |
