Description: | The goal is to produce a QH-mode plasma with the TBM in and energized. |
ITER IO Urgent Research Task : |
No |
Experimental Approach/Plan: | Starting from 145117 or similar QH-mode, turn on the TBM at various levels and reestablish QH-mode conditions. |
Background: | QH-mode provides a possible ELM-free high performance regime in which ITER could operate. The TBM mockup in DIII-D could provide counter Ip NTV torque to keep the plasma counter rotating. |
Resource Requirements: | Typical setup for QH-mode (reversed current). TBM. 3D fields coils (I & C). |
Diagnostic Requirements: | Magnetics. All profile diagnostics. Fluctuations would be nice if the plasma is in the right parameter space. |
Analysis Requirements: | Power balance. CERFIT. Plasma magnetic perturbation analysis (M3D-C1). |
Other Requirements: | |
