  2. Target conditions set-up for XP1031: MHD/ELM stability dependence on thermoelectric J, edge J, n • Goals/Approach • Test expectations ELM stability theory considering changes to edge toroidal current density, field-aligned thermoelectric current, and collisionality • 1) Generate target • 2) Vary TE current connection length at fixed 3D field • 3) Vary 3D field amplitude • 4) Vary toroidal current density near the edge • 5) Vary collisionality with LLD • Data from last week • Completed Step (1), using target from LLD XP1000 (4 shots / 2 good shots) • intermediate elongation and triangularity successfully re-created using strike point control • small evidence of ELM activity, dithering, indicating marginal stability of ELMs • 50 Hz n = 3 field applied to the plasma, yielded ELMing plasma during n = 3 field • Scrape-off layer currents were measured by the new LLD shunt tiles and Langmuir probe arrays

  3. Target configuration reproduced, some changes in profiles • Profiles taken at same time, but had somewhat different b • Examine further, choose profiles at same b Target no 3D field w/ 3D field Target no 3D field w/ 3D field

  4. ELMs generated when 3D field was applied w/ 3D field no 3D field

  5. Scrape-off later currents during ELMs measured by LLD shunt tiles and Langmuir probe array • Lamgmuir probe current • Measured during ELM generated after application of 3D field • Similar data taken with LLD shunt tiles
