9 C-Mod FY7 Campaign Status presented by R. Granetz Alcator C-Mod quarterly review 6 July 7
10 C-Mod JOULE target is 5 weeks of research operation in FY7 Budgeted for 6 research days plus 4 startup & conditioning days So far we have completed about 75% of the planned weeks of operation, and we anticipate meeting the 5 week research target around the end of August. We are currently running two run weeks in reversed B T and reversed I p configuration. Remainder of campaign is heavily oversubscribed, as always. It will include operation at several different ICRF frequencies.
11 C-Mod 7 run utilization through 5 July (in run days) Topic/Group Run Days Original Allocation Pre-Physics* LH H-mode Scenarios MHD. 6 Divertor/Edge Transport 5.38 AT Scenarios.5 7 ICRF.9 6 Operations Diagnostics Total Research Startup/Condition Total Operating 5.76 (~ weeks) *Note that some of the research runs, especially under the LH and Diagnostics topics, were actually done during the pre-physics time (tentatively before 74), so these aren't really overrun. We have actually used 8.5 days for official "Startup and Conditioning" activities, out of 4 budgeted, so at this point we get about six bonus days available for research and/or operations (i.e. frequency switches, etc.)
12 Facility Status and Plans DoE Quarterly Review 7/6/7
13 Status Alcator C-Mod is currently in operation (details from Bob Granetz) 5 plasma discharges thus far 77% startup reliability Operational activities thus far include Excellent performance of the new upper chamber cryopump Tests of the prototype FFT system Improvements in MSE diagnostic performance Commissioning of new diagnostics and diagnostic upgrades Routine operation of Long Pulse DNB
14 Updates: Lower Hybrid Systems Lower Hybrid Control and Protection Systems Continuing to work with vendor of high speed CPCI data acquisition card to provide programming area for coupler protection upgrade interlock signals Phase I SBIR awarded to design transmitter protection system upgrade (Rockfield Research, Inc.) Lower Hybrid Stainless Steel Couplers Detailed analysis of brazing process is now complete New brazing fixture being fabricated A 4-window braze test will be performed New couplers and windows are in-house 3
15 Updates: Lower Hybrid Systems Design of nd launcher continues New 4-way splitter design may reduce complexity of the jungle gym (8-way systems also under investigation) Prototype splitter fabricated and successfully tested at low power Detailed layouts of E-Plane design underway 4 th Cart Fabrication work also continues Klystrons are being refurbished Circulators on order and on schedule for Fall delivery 4-way splitter 8-way splitter 4
16 Updates: ICRF Systems Continued fast-ferrite-tuner work The power reflection on the match side has been dynamically kept below % for sudden plasma variations, such as L-H transition and pellet injection. For a slowly varying plasma, the power reflection is usually < 3% under feedback control. Low power drivers for transmitters #3 and #4 replaced No saturation Less harmonic generation Reduced performance of J-Port antenna under investigation 5
17 Updates: Diagnostics Upgrades and additions to CXRS, fast scanning probes, x-ray spectrometers, Thomson scattering, bolometry, Penning gauges, and plasma video system are all operational and providing new data Science Surface Station (S 3 ) is providing important new data on boronization deposition profiles as function of fill pressure and vertical field Dual FIR laser for polarimetry diagnostic expected Feb 8 Single chord rotation measurement during next run campaign Quotes being received for detectors Collaborations with PPPL and UTexas underway Beam position feedback system being tested this run campaign (direct application to ITER) 6
18 Boronization Boronization is critical to high performance operation of C-Mod Boronization has previously been done with toroidal field only, using an electron cyclotron discharge to produce the plasma --- particles drift out radially; very little localization The addition of a vertical field can improve the localization of the deposited boron Coat proper surfaces Protect outboard components S 3 has been used to study the deposition profiles as a function of vertical field, diborane pressure 7
19 NSTAR On June st NSTAR reconfigured our 3.8 kv line that supplies power for our LH HV supply, ICRF, DNB, several power supplies, and the alternator drive motor Power was no longer supplied from two stations but just one Remaining station had.5 Ω current limiting reactor in the line that resulted in up to a 35% drop in voltage under load We have reconfigured some of our power systems to use house power (another 3.8 kv source) NSTAR has completed a review and is scheduling removal of the reactor Configuration w/o the reactor will result in acceptable voltage drops 8
20 Liquid Helium There is a shortage of helium (nation wide) Numerous problems at processing plants Suppliers are reducing allocations We have had to carefully work availability of LHe into our operational planning (cryopump, DNB, diagnostics) Now working with multiple vendors We already had plans to reclaim helium gas for reprocessing at the MIT Cryogenics Lab This effort has been moved up in the schedule and will be available before the next run campaign Exhaust gas will be pressurized and returned via an underground line directly to the Cryolab 9
21 Plans Complete 5 week operation (approx run days remaining) Continue design of new E-plane launcher and fabrication of new klystron cart (4 klystrons) Complete brazing of 4 new couplers Preparations underway for up-to-air period. A few items from the work list include Improve high voltage performance of J-Port antenna Add gas puff capability to lower hybrid launcher Refurbishment of LH launcher Numerous diagnostic upgrades Additional marker tiles Magnetics refurbishment

29 LH plus ICRH applied early in slow ramp discharge (Ip = 6 ka in ms) delays sawteeth
30 Summary Coupling LHRF and ICRF in L- and H-Mode Plasmas LHRF has been successfully coupled into ICRF heated L-Mode and H- Mode plasmas. No special problem providing adequate density at grill is maintained. (LHRF has also been coupled into Ohmic H-modes and has also triggered them.) LHRF with ICRF has been used as a tool to delay onset of sawteeth during slow rampup discharges. Exploration of synergies between ICRF-heated H-Modes and LHRF will require density control (e.g., upper null, pumped) and higher LHRF power as expected from simulations.
