  1. XP935: Search for multiple RWM behavior at high bN • Goals • Determine if unstable RWM is born from observed, stable RWM (with w at peak resonant field amplification – XP931), or a 2nd mode: Either result is important: • If same mode, supports single mode physics model; key conclusion for RFA control of NBI (future milestone) • If second mode, supports multi-mode theory, PRL-level conclusion, key conclusion for RWM control in ST, also, key conclusion for RFA control of NBI • Determine bN dependence of RFA for these modes near marginal stability • Determine effect of wf on both modes as marginal stability approached • Determine effect of active n = 1 control for these modes near marginal stability • Status • Scan in normalized beta completed, now with MSE data • Notable: six shots with bN > 6, reduce Ip = 0.52 MA reached bN = 7.2 • co-rotating 30Hz seed fields appear to be amplified more strongly than counter, consistent with RFA – several long-pulse (~ 1.3s) shots with RFA seed fields • ~ 30 Hz activity was shown to increase in radial extent as bN increased • The observed growing RWM appears to be independent of the 20 - 30 Hz activity
