NSTX-U EP-TSG plans for initial NSTX-U research – M. Podestà (01/29/2015) EP-TSG goals for FY-15 Milestone R15-2: Assess effects of NBI parameters on fast ion distribution function, NB driven current profile. FY15 FES Joint Research Milestone: Quantify impact of broadened current and pressure profiles on confinement and stability. Extend studies of EP transport by MHD to extended parameter range of NSTX-U Experimental work supports validation of first- principle & reduced EP transport codes/models. 2 NSTX-U NSTX blue: stable red: unstable TAE stability from NOVA-K

NSTX-U EP-TSG plans for initial NSTX-U research – M. Podestà (01/29/2015) Target for first ~8 weeks of EP research: re-commission primary diagnostics, establish baseline for JRT-15 & R15-2 Planned XMPs: –Neutron calibration: low P NB discharges, E inj =40-50keV Transfer calibration from pulse-counting to current mode –FIDA/ssNPA/sFLIP checkout Commission new t-FIDA, ssNPA systems; checkout sFLIP & v-FIDA 3

NSTX-U EP-TSG plans for initial NSTX-U research – M. Podestà (01/29/2015) Requirements for NUBEAM “sanity check” XP Objectives: >Verify that experiments agree with TRANSP runs for well-controlled conditions, when “classical” fast ion physics is expected to be OK. >Compare basic metrics (neutron rate vs. NBI source, build-up/decay rates from NB-blip experiments) Study behavior of “diluted” fast ion population,  fast <<<1 Low NB power (P<<4MW, varying NB mix) for no detectable MHD Need all 6 NB sources with modulation capability Need minimum diagnostics coverage to run TRANSP: profiles, calibrated neutrons, possibly sFLIP. Short, L-mode plasmas with sec flat-top are OK. Focus on NBI’s: NSTX- like I p, B t are OK. Two/three-point B t scan ( T) and I p (0.7-1MA) desirable if sFLIP is available to compare measured/predicted prompt losses trend (reinforces sanity check). If FIDA, ssNPA are available and plasma conditions are OK (i.e., low impurity level) XP may be combined with “FIDA/ssNPA checkout” XMP. 8

NSTX-U EP-TSG plans for initial NSTX-U research – M. Podestà (01/29/2015) Requirements for “on- vs. off-axis NBI for fiducial-like H-mode plasmas” XP (JRT-15, part 1) Objectives: >What are the different NB sources doing? Can we reliably model them for standard NSTX-U H-mode scenarios? >Compare NB-CD performance for fiducial-like H-mode plasma as a function of NBI mix; assess fast ion profile variations as a function of NBI mix. Builds on XP#1 as reference for TRANSP consistency with Expt’s Need good plasma performance (e.g. reproducible H-mode scenario, longer pulses with ~1sec flat-top) Need all 6 NB sources with injection voltage scan capabilities Good diagnostics coverage required: profiles, neutrons, MSE, FIDA, ssNPA,sFLIP. Requires I p, B t scans (I p = MA, B t = T) 9
