Title	297: ITER baseline scenario with low NBI torque
Name:	Gary Jackson jackson@fusion.gat.com	Affiliation:	General Atomics
Research Area:	Inductive Scenarios	Presentation time:	Not requested
Co-Author(s):	F. Turco, W. Solomon, T. Luce	ITPA Joint Experiment :	No
Description:	Explore low torque operation in ITER Baseline Scenarios plasmas	ITER IO Urgent Research Task :	No
Experimental Approach/Plan:	1. Re-establish a stable low torque discharge, e.g. 149682 (Tinj = 0.36 Nm) 2. Increase T in small steps. Varying li (via dIp/dt). Then decrease to 0.3 Nm (2/1 unstable) and add EC (including mirror tracking) to stabilize
Background:	Operating range for ITER baseline scenario discharges in 2012 showed a rather narrow window at low torque (<1 Nm). However this range was not fully explored. The goal is to map a more robust operating range.
Resource Requirements:	NB, ECH and ITER shape
Diagnostic Requirements:	Standard diagnostics only
Analysis Requirements:
Other Requirements:
