3 Observe Toroidal and Poloidal Rotation with Mode Conversion Toroidal rotation, Vφ, profile is peaked and approximately twice that observed in D(H) 80 minority heated discharge. 60 For D(H) minority absorption the 40 rotation profile is approximately flat 0 and dominated by intrinsic rotation. Change in poloidal rotation profile is 0 peaked off-axis in the ion diamagnetic drift -0 direction. V θ is up to 1.5 km/s and localized: 0.3 < r/a < 0.7. For D(H) minority absorption, V θ less than 0.5 km/s and has no clear spatial structure.

5 MCFD is largely Independent of Antenna Phase The direction of rotation is independent of the antenna phase. V φ in co-current direction. V θ in ion diamagnetic drift direction. Phase scan showed only 10% variation between co- counter-and dheating phase. The rotation magnitudes are similar il for all antenna phases. 18th RF Topical Ghent 5
6 Measurements Confirm Presence of MCICW Mode converted ion cyclotron wave (MCICW) detected by phase contrast imaging about ~ 4 cm away from the 3 He cyclotron resonance and on the HFS of magnetic axis. Wave number k R ~ 3-7 cm -1, consistent solution of dispersion equations and to previous MC experiments (Y. Lin et al, PPCF (005)). 18th RF Topical Ghent 6
7 MW W/m TORIC Simulation Indicates Significant Power to Ions ECE Fit Simulation r/a Using n( 3 He)/n e ~ 8-1% for TORIC simulation can reproduces measured MCICW profile from PCI And electron power deposition profile.

8 Power to Ions Appears to be Important Experimentally, no flow drive is observed when the power is absorbed by electrons. Flux averaged power deposition to 3 He from TORIC simulation is approximately at the same location where poloidal rotation is observed.

Solve the momentum transport equation in cylindrical coordinates and select diffusion and pinch velocities to match the observed profiles. Assumed force profile is consistent with observed rotation profile with χ φ~ 0.1 m /s. Estimated total toroidal force ~ N per MW ICW or N per MW total injected power to match experimental data.» Injected fast wave momentum (P/v φ ) is ~0.03 N/MW.» Mode converted ICW momentum content is 0.15 N/MW. Sufficient wave momentum is injected but require asymmetry in plasma response. 18th RF Topical Ghent 8 MW/m [k km/s] (a)

Discharges were USN, L-mode with an H-factor ~1.3. Assuming L-mode scaling, effective absorbed power fraction ~0.5.» Central T e increased ~ 1keV.» Significantly higher density production with FW compared to minority heating.» Increase in neutron rate during FWEH.» Significant impurity production but radiated power remains under control B T ~5.

13 ICRF Impurity Production with Metallic PFCs is Challenging A primary challenge to ICRF utilization in present experiments and future reactors is to reduce/eliminate impurity production specific to ICRF. Boronization required for high performance discharges in C-Mod. 1 Large gap, strong puffing necessary for ICRF H-modes in ASDEX-U. Metallic plasma facing components (PFCs) for fusion devices including ITER are being considered. Tritium retention is expected to be less than for carbon PFCs and Have significantly better erosion resistance. Allowable high Z metallic impurity concentration is very restrictive. Allowable W concentration is <10-4 for ITER. W will radiate in the plasma pedestal region and may detrimentally effect H-mode performance. High confinement modes have increased impurity confinement. Prescription 3 to ameliorate impurity production has been: Operate the antenna in dipole phasing, Align the Faraday screen with total magnetic field, and Utilize low Z film on antenna and plasma facing surfaces. 1.

14 Low Z Film Lifetime is Limited Following a boronization, successive discharges are heated by ICRF. Boron is eroded dwhen impurity i control is lost during the H-mode Estimated erosion rate is ~15-0 nm/s with RF heating JET utilizes beryllium coating on FS and limiter to control high Z impurity influx. 1 Estimated erosion rate from Faraday screen is 15 nm/80 MJ. Be layer is eroded from limiters faster but not specified. Assuming similar erosion rate for Be in ITER (400 s discharge) as B in C-Mod, lifetime of 5 mm layer in ITER is ~1000 discharges. As Be on JET FS, lifetime of 5 mm is ~15000 discharges P rad (MW) 1st Discharge nd d Discharge 4th Discharge H-mode Time (s) W MHD (MJ) MBures 1.

15 Can Plasma Performance be Improved by Insulating Limiters? Replaced molybdenum protection tiles with insulating BN tiles to Remove local antenna molybdenum source. Eliminate sheaths on field lines that intersect the antenna protection tiles. Remove RF enhanced plasma potential. Approach was similar to BN limited installed in the Phaedrus-T tokamak. * Successfully eliminated metal impurities with installation of BN tiles and removal of Faraday screen. *Majeski et al., 11 th RF Power in Plasmas, AIP Conf Proc 44, 3 (199). 18th RF Topical Ghent 15
16 Insulating Tiles did not Improve Performance Plasma performance was unimproved despite decrease in antenna limiter Mo source. Expected less RF power to obtain same stored energy. Suggests RF limiters are not the only source of core Mo. Significant RF enhanced plasma potential is observed despite BN tiles. BN tile impedance is 100x the plasma-pfc sheath impedance. RF voltage is dropped across insulating tile. Plasma potential ~100 V in H-mode and would have significant enhanced sputtering. Contrasts with previous results. In Phaedrus-T, little residual plasma potential increase was observed but power density is times lower than C-Mod. 1 In C-Mod, BN merely covered metallic surfaces whereas in Phaedrus-T the BN replaced the metallic antenna box.

18 Sheath Potentials are Higher in H-mode For similar power, the sheath voltage is expected to increase with antenna voltage. Measured antenna voltage in H-mode is ~0% than comparible L-mode. Expect RF enhanced plasma potentials to be ~0% higher in H-mode Observe that plasma potentials are about twice as large in H-mode than L-mode. Caveats: RF power is affecting antenna loading.» Density profile is modified during power power ramp.» Antenna loading is constant above 100 kw. RF sheath model needs to allow for cross-field currents.,3» Ion flows across the magnetic field along the length of the flux tube are balanced by electron currents in and out of one end of the flux tube.» Integrated flux tube impedance is less than or equal to the impedance through the sheath. RF is creating an energetic edge electron population.» Small energetic electron population, ~0.1% can double the sheath voltage. 4» Possible mechanisms are Fermi 5 and near field 6 acceleration.» No evidence of energetic edge electrons from TS measurements. 7 Plasm ma Potential [V] P1/ H-mode L-mode H-mode with BN tiles RF Power [MW] 1 Sorensen et al., Nucl.

19 Future Research: Proposed ICRF 4-Strap Antenna Reduce coupled E by making antenna symmetric along a field line. Integrated E along a field line would be reduced. Entire structure is perpendicular to field line. Estimated reduction due to rotation is ~10-30x reduction in E dl along a field line. Compared tilted versus horizontal antenna load via lossy dielectric ect c load antenna. a. Feedthrus are 5 diameter (present are 4.5 ). Power density at MW (3MW) is 9.8 MW/m (14.8 MW/m ) Strip line impedance is 30 Ω (J is 50 Ω and D/E is 30 Ω) Screen is aligned to B-field and is 50% transparent (same as J) Peak n φ = 14 (0,π,0,π); 11 (0,π,π,0); and 8 (0,π/,π,3π/) in vacuum spectrum (bit higher than J antenna).
20 Reconciling C-Mod and AUG Results C-Mod and AUG both have insufficient H-mode performance with ICRF and metallic PFCs. C-Mod ddata indicates the primary RF impurity i source is away from the antenna. AUG concludes the local ICRF limiters are primary source.» Larger gap and high h puffing reduce associated impurity i production. JET in the 90s thought it was the Faraday Screen. C-Mod ICRF limiters are behind plasma limiters by ~0.8 cm whereas AUG ICRF limiters it are the first point of contact t with the plasma. C-Mod antenna generates less E per MW than AUG. Straps are out of the antenna box in C-Mod and inside the antenna box in AUG. Greater image currents with straps inside the antenna box. For sputtering: C-Mod is dominated by deuterium on Mo when plasma potential is >90 V (typical of H-mode). AUG is dominate impurity sputtering from C and O on W. If dominated by impurity sputtering of high Z, practically c no safe E and lifetime of low Z materials will be shortened. AUG data from Bobkov et al., 50 th IAEA (008). 18th RF Topical Ghent 0

Fixed stub is used for pre-matching to prevent excessive voltages in the ferrite stubs. Ferrite stubs were originally designed for 60 MHz for hybrid ring system at DIII-D and tested at ASDEX-U.

28 Summary Observed significant toroidal and poloidal flow with D( 3 He) mode conversion. Toroidal rotation exceeds empirical i scaling with hinstrinsic/spontaneous i i rotation. Scales with RF power. Majority of power is absorbed by ions. First observation of Fast wave electron heating in C-Mod with low single pass absorption. RF sheaths were: Still present for an antenna with insulating protection tiles and Observed increase with H-mode compared to L-mode was larger than expected. A triple stub, fast ferrite matching network reliably maintains power transfer to the plasma with low reflected power over wide range of conditions. To date, 1.85 MW coupled into H-mode. Further improvements are possible in the voltage limit and time response of these ferrite tuners. 18th RF Topical Ghent 8
