ICRF Scenarios on C-Mod (I) this forum
ICRF Scenarios on C-Mod (II) • J antenna has never been run at 53 MHz, 60 MHz, and 40 MHz. • Only feasible to try them out in long campaigns.
New Ideas/Presentations • Y. Lin: • ELMs on antenna loading and FFT commissioning (mostly piggy-back) • MC and LHCD synergy (J antenna at 50 MHz. Needs LH) • ICRF MC and ITB formation and density control (J antenna at 60 MHz) • S. Wukitch: • ICRF sheaths using marker tiles (78 MHz, normal and reversed field) • ICCD for sawtooth control (78 MHz, CD phase) • MCCD sawtooth control in monster sawtooth (50 MHz, D(He3), CD phase) • M. Porkolab (P. Bonoli presented): • 2nd harmonic minority heating (J antenna 78 MHz or 40-45 MHz. D(H) or D(He3). Low field). • C. K. Phillips: • Fast wave heating and CD below all IC resonances (40 MHz, high field. Needs LH to boost Te)
Open ICRF Mini-Proposals • D(He3) minority heating evaluation (Wukitch, MP390) • ICRF on sawtooth behavior (Wukitch, MP380) • High power experiment (Wukitch, MP379) • MC flow drive (Lin, MP378) • Plasma performance (Lin, MP376/388, MP417) • MCCD (Parisot, MP356, MP447) • CNPA test and calibration (Tang, MP389) Total run time from new ideas: ~10 days • Prioritizing meeting: • Ranking the ideas/MPs. • J-antenna frequencies.
