Fundamenski EU PWI TF, Madrid, 29/10/07 –Divertor heat load mitigation: impurity seeded, highly radiative plasmas Progress in highly radiative (frad ~70-80%) type-III ELMy H-mode plasmas –Continue development from 3 to 3.5 MA, at q95 ~ 2.6 –Complete N-seeded plasmas; repeat with Neon and/or mixture of the two Continuation of work on Type-III ELMs in the hybrid-scenario (with S1) –Investigation of divertor plasma detachment at both divertor targets Degree of detachment and volumetric recombination in L-mode and H-mode Impact of detachment on chemical/physical sputtering Effect of strike point position, divertor closure, X-point proximity to inner baffle and fuelling location/method (gas, pellets) on inner and outer target detachment X-point MARFE formation and possibility of real time control Plasma fuelling (similarity experiments ITPA: AUG/JET/DIIID) –Participation in the development of ILW compatible scenarios for TF S1 (standard scenarios) and S2 (AT scenarios): Replacement of carbon as radiating species (by N, Ne, Ar or mixture of these) Achievement of tolerable particle and heat fluxes in the inner and outer divertor target plates (partial detachment) TF-E strategy for 2008+ (C20-25)

Mixing efficiency –Electron penetration / critical field for secondary RE generation (RE suppression in ITER requires several 1e22 e/m3) –Runaway electron generation/suppression studies Critical gas amount (species) for RE generation/suppression –Wall loads Asymmetries (peaking factors), power deposition / balance (divertor/wall), particle release, preparation for ILW –Basic mechanism of gas mitigated disruption Gas / cold front penetration to q=2 –Forces / halo currents during current quench (with M) Headline 1.3

19 JET PWI work plan for 2008+ W. Fundamenski EU PWI TF, Madrid, 29/10/07 Participation in ITER-relevant integrated scenario development (with S1 and S2) TF-E must play an active role in ITER-relevant scenario development, in respect to particle and power exhaust at highest possible current –SOL characterisation in high current scenarios, in excess of 3 MA This is particularly important for the scaling of ELM losses for which data is very scare for currents greater than 3 MA –SOL characterisation in AT scenarios (with TF-S2) Continuation of the work begun in 2006 Proceed with whatever AT scenario is deemed most relevant by TF-S2 for its future programme, with modifications for edge diagnostics –Basic idea is characterise the SOL in main AT scenarios, and combine with high density edge / high radiation, to ensure compatibily with ILW. –Optimise shape (inner strike point, X-point to tile 1 distance) to allow partial detachment of the inner, as well as the outer, divertor leg Headline 2.1-4

20 JET PWI work plan for 2008+ W. Fundamenski EU PWI TF, Madrid, 29/10/07 TF-E strategy for 2008+ (C20-25) Development of active ELM mitigation techniques (with S1 & M) Ideally should form an inter-TF working group, which would characterise the ELMs (MHD, pedestal drop, wall loads) with each type of technique. The three active mitigation techniques most likely to be investigated in 2008 are: –Pellet pacing: experiments well overdue on JET provided pellet launcher online Characterise pellet generated ELM filaments and heat loads with regular small ELMs (type I, II or III) –EFCC coils (n = 1, 2) Can the magnetic pump-out be counter-acted with additional fuelling by pellets or gas, without significant confinement degradation? Short term wall pumping? Is this technique compatible with partially detachmed divertors? Is it compatible with highly radiative, impurity seeded plasmas? Effect on impurity transport and content –Vertical kicks Technique appears to work in increasing the ELM frequency Headline 2.1

21 JET PWI work plan for 2008+ W. Fundamenski EU PWI TF, Madrid, 29/10/07 Edge plasma transport studies (with T) –Hot-ion H-mode pedestal with Te ~ 3-4 keV possible only before the installation of the ILW pedestal with the same resistivity as the ITER pedestal. high edge current densities. modify the balance of MHD instabilities that can trigger an ELM, more current driven modes –Edge/SOL momentum transport influence of SOL flows on rotation using reversed B and transition from single to double null configuration ELMs as momentum perturbation –L-H transition in low momentum plasmas LH transition at low momentum input; investigate with enhanced edge diagnostics Extended parameter range with new antenna –Impurity control and influx under ICRH Study of the ICRH effects on both impurity and bulk ion transport Impurity production and pollution due to ICRH ?

22 JET PWI work plan for 2008+ W. Fundamenski EU PWI TF, Madrid, 29/10/07 Hydrogen plasmas before 2008 shutdown (with all TFs) Information for ITER Hydrogen phase, and the subsequent extrapolation to ITER Deuterium phase, e.g. L-H transition, divertor detachment, SOL widths, etc. –Characterisation of Hydrogen discharges: SOL and power deposition profiles, L- H transition in ITER-like shapes, ICRH efficiency in H –Isotopic effect (D vs. H) on combined plasma performance in matched discharges –Timing: if neutron activation of vessel becomes an issue for the ILW shutdown, then H campaign (or mini-campaign) would fit naturally at end of C25; however, ITER-like antenna full power only available in C25, so may face competition from other studies? –Duration: To save NBI changeover time, could try with RF heating only? New item; not a headline

23 JET PWI work plan for 2008+ W. Fundamenski EU PWI TF, Madrid, 29/10/07 There is a double motivation for (edge) modelling work on JET: –interpretation of particular JET experiments either in the upcoming (C20-25) or previous (C1-19) campaigns, and –validation and verification of codes (models) against JET experimental data. Although such validation is an on-going process, involving many tokamaks, JET, being the closest to ITER in size, is in most respects the most important tokamak for model validation allowing meaningful ITER prediction. –On JET, edge modelling has made significant gains over the past years, largely as a consequence of an annual modelling month hosted by TF-E. –Hence, irrespective of the details of the experimental programme, TF-E plans to host such a modelling month near the beginning of the 2008 campaigns Edge plasma modelling issues for JET JET ITER Other tokamaks Model Experiment Repeat until converged Experiment prediction ITPA, IEA, EU-ITM validated

24 JET PWI work plan for 2008+ W. Fundamenski EU PWI TF, Madrid, 29/10/07 Power exhaust: Time-averaged heat loads on plasma facing components (PFCs) Transients (ELMs): Transient (peak) electron, ion and heat loads on plasma facing components Edge plasma modelling issues for ITER Particle exhaust: neutral (hydrogenic and impurity) pressure at pumping duct; SOL screening of impurity influx into the core Material migration and fuel retention: PFC material erosion, transport and co- depostion with tritium Edge-SOL turbulence, Parallel heat flux (kinetic limits), Impurity radiatiation and CX, Divertor detachment 2-3D G-S (equilibrium) 2-3D multi-fluid (plasma), 3D MC (neutrals), 2-3D QL/NL (turbulence) Practical issueKey PhysicsNumerical codes Edge transport barrier (collapse), ELM filaments (dynamics), Parallel plasma response, Magnetic reconnection at X-pt?

25 JET PWI work plan for 2008+ W. Fundamenski EU PWI TF, Madrid, 29/10/07 Back-up slide on C13 experiment C13 tracer experiment (as the last session of C25 campaign) C13 tracer injection combined with post-mortem analysis is an established technique (at JET and elsewhere) for monitoring material migration –Mid-term (end of C23 or C24) tracer experiment (e.g. TMB) to study material migration in complete C25 (test for experimental approach with ILW) –Choose different plasma configuration, injection location or species than in the previous 3 attempts –Possible combination with fuel retention experiment with gas balance analysis for one particular configuration Possible scheme: methane injection from GIM9 and OSP on tile 5 with injection into SOL. The 2004 experiment required that a multi-step erosion process took place to migrate 13C into the PFR. This process occurred due to the geometry of the field lines wrt the target surface. Injecting from GIM9 will change that geometry and should move 13C away from the separatrix. Such a geometry might be useful for minimizing and removing ITER tritium retention. Headline 1.3
