ITPA Joint Experiment :
No
Description:
Fast ion losses associated with EHO during ELM-free QH-mode have been detected on DIII-D. But the previous measurements and interpretations are limited by the fast ion diagnostics and codes. Now, we have pitch and energy resolving Fast Ion Loss Detector (FILD) with bandwidth up to 500kHz and fast-FIDA (up to 200kHz), and full orbit calculation code SPIRAL, we can get better fast ion measurements for study of EHO, e.g. the relation with fast ion loss, the mode location, the EHO<->ELM transition.
ITER IO Urgent Research Task :
