Title 298: Soft landing with 2/1 TM in the ITER shape
Name:Gary Jackson jackson@fusion.gat.com Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Stability & Disruption Avoidance Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): F. Turco, A. Hyatt, W. Solomon, D. Humphreys ITPA Joint Experiment : No
Description: Find a Scenario to successfully meet ITER rampdown requirements with a 2/1 TM ITER IO Urgent Research Task : No
Experimental Approach/Plan: Trigger a 2/1 TM (probably easiest with low density) in the ITER shape. Holding the ITER shape, ramp down without disrupting. This can be done in piggyback. Add ECH if necessary in the rampdown.
Background: Disruptions are problematic for ITER, hence a valid rampdown scheme needs to be developed, even in the presence of a 2/1 TM and/or locked mode.
Resource Requirements: ITER shape
Diagnostic Requirements: standard, but may need to extend clocks, EFITs, etc. to cover rampdown.
Analysis Requirements:
Other Requirements:
