  1. The Two Types of Discharges in XP-913 Standard Fiducial ELMs / LLD

  3. Six Interesting Features from XP-828 • The (apparent) extreme efficacy of Li aerosol at increasing confinement • The extremely “square” Te and ne profiles seen during the NBI overdriven L-H transition • The reduced OH consumption during aerosol injection • The transient suppression of ELMs • The concomitant reduction in radiated power / Zeff • The lack of CS gas fuelling

  11. Goal(s) of the XP • Establish whether or not the 1st aerosol experiment was a fluke. • Fiducials: H mode by early NBI overdrive - no CS gas • Early aerosol injection – before L-to-H transition • 10 mg/s and higher – probe the limit of Li aerosol mass flux • Push plasma performance • If problems try OH shot or two • -------------------------- If time permits ------------------------------------ • 2. Investigate effects on ELMs. • Can aerosol trigger small ELMs at higher flux rates (>35mg/s)? • 3. Investigate whether more Li atoms can be injected than D2 atoms. • LLD loading - need relevant discharge • 4. Investigate Li efficacy with double null discharges

  12. Shot 130388: Early Injection of Li Powder • Nominal aerosol trajectories shown by red vertical lines Plasma Encounters Aerosol Particles X-Point Established (H-mode @ 180 ms) Stored Energy Steady State Li+1Rings Observed (Fig 12) 25 ms 58 ms 80 ms 102 ms 509 ms

  13. 2005 First LSN NBI D Shot After 25 mg of Li Pellet Injection Exhibited Factor ~50% Decrease in Density Lower single-null divertor discharges, 0.45T, D2 gas fueling 3.5mg • 25 mg of Li pumping of edge density saturated after the 3 similar D discharges and returned to pre-Li wall conditions, as expected if most injected gas reacts with the deposited Li. • Rate of density rise is below NBI fueling rate.

  16. Why a Double Null Discharge Would be Interesting Powder Injector Li Ions Head Preferentially for Upper Strike Points
