Title	25: Transport mechanisms induced by RMP
Name:	Jose Boedo boedo@fusion.gat.com	Affiliation:	University of California, San Diego
Research Area:	ELM Control	Presentation time:	Not requested
Co-Author(s):	D. Rudakov, Z Unterberg, M. Schaffer	ITPA Joint Experiment :	No
Description:	RMP causes changes in the pedestal pressure gradient, keeping pedestal P-B stable. The detailed mechanism is not known. We propose to study the details of the plasma response to the RMP using probes. We also propose to create a particular plasma to enhance detectability of the RMP-induced response.	ITER IO Urgent Research Task :	Yes
Experimental Approach/Plan:	Use ECH- heated discharges. Use elliptical, inner post limited discharges and n=1 (or n=2), m=3 perturbations to make islands visible and large in radius (1-2 cm) so the effects are detectable by all diagnostics.
Background:	Preliminary experiments using this configuration yielded intriguing but incomplete results. Completion of this work is important to understand underlying mechanisms
Resource Requirements:	ECH at 1-2 MW. COils
Diagnostic Requirements:	scanning probes, Xpoint SXR camera. BES, fluctuation diagnostics
Analysis Requirements:	TRIP3D, NIMROD, data analysis
Other Requirements:
