Title	331: QH-mode with TBM (dup 330)
Name:	Sterling Smith smithsp@fusion.gat.com	Affiliation:	General Atomics
Research Area:	Stability & Disruption Avoidance	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:
