Title 330: QH-mode with TBM
Name:Sterling Smith smithsp@fusion.gat.com Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Inductive Scenarios Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): ITPA Joint Experiment : No
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:
