c';1. INTRODUCTIONThis document summarizes the Experimental Plan for the DIII-D tokamakfacility for the fiscal year 1989. The long-range DIII-D 5 yr plan is directed ultimately at the goal of achieving good confinement at high beta in a plasma withnon-inductively driven current. This is important to the design of a steady-statereactor. This program may be thought of as occurring in two phases. In the firstphase of the program we are separately investigating high beta plasma confinementin inductively-driven plasmas, and non-inductive current drive. In the second phasewe will combine these two elements to investigate high beta plasma confinement withnon-inductive current drive.The F Y 89 plan continues the first phase of the DIII-D experimental effort thatcontains a strong focus on beta and confinement in non-circular plasma configurationsand in the divertor configuration in particular. Important work also continues in thedevelopment of rf heating systems for heating, profile control, and current drive. Thisresearch is coupled to theoretical efforts at General Atomics.The FY 89 research program outlined herein is diverse and multifaceted. However, it is also characterized by a greater synthesis of techniques toward a commongoal. An example is the application of ECH for sawtooth suppression that wouldimprove the low Q confinement and allow higher p to be obtained. We believe thisresearch program will provide a solid foundation for the continued development of thetokamak toward high beta steady-state reactor application.The DIII-D FY 89 research program will provide results that will help resolvemany CIT and ITER Physics R&D issues. In addition, DIII-D confinement studieswill be an important input to the newly formed National Transport Task Force.1

1989 will also contain initial efforts at affecting p limits using profile control from ECHor IBW. We also intend to try to reach higher numerical values of @T by pushing upto the p limit in the regime q 3. At present, the achieved p in this regime has beenlimited by the energy confinement time becoming independent of Ip for q 3. Wefeel this loss of current scaling at q 3 is owing to the combined action of sawteethand ELMS. Consequently, the research topics on sawtooth suppression and ELMsuppression appear variously under the beta, Confinement, and rf program headings.The effort to attain higher pT will also be helped by the neutron shielding whichwill enable deuterium neutral beam injection into deuterium plasmas which yieldshigher beam power and better plasma confinement. These advantages may be crucialto achieving high beta in some of the more advanced limiter plasma shapes whereH-mode is probably not available. In FY 89, we also intend to mount an experimentaimed at pushing into the second stable regime.Confinement ResearchThe confinement research program in FY 89 has components that relate to thebeta program, to producing scaling information for future machine design, and toproviding basic understanding in several areas of plasma transport research. H-modestudies will continue to be emphasized. The neutron shielding will allow us to obtainthe clear scaling information with deuterium neutral beam injection into deuteriumplasmas, uncomplicated by isotope effects. These data will also be our contribution toa joint effort with JET to extract the size scaling of H-mode from direct comparisonsof corresponding discharges in our two machines. Following up our first production ofH-mode with ECH alone and even with ohmic power alone, we will continue exploringrfproduced H-mode with ECH and IBW.In more basic studies, we will seek a greater depth of understanding of interior plasma transport coefficients and processes using pulse modulation techniquesand the UCLA scattering system. Because of our excellent rotation speed profilemeasurements derived from the charge exchange recombination diagnostic system,momentum confinement studies will come along as a by-product of scaling studies.5

Edge and Divertor ResearchBoundary physics studies in FY 89 will concentrate on H-mode topics and otherdivertor issues relevant to future machine design efforts. We perceive that the demonstration of long pulse, steady H-mode is a critical issue in future machine designs.We have already obtained a 4.4 second steady H-mode with good confinement char-acterized by grassy ELMs. We have also seen effective prevention of central impurityaccumulation by ELMs in high current operation. These lines of research on longpulse and impurity control will be continued. We will also study particle transport.An effort is underway to form a collaborative arrangement with other edge plasmaspecialists to provide the necessary studies of erosion/redeposition, main plasma exhaust, pumping and recycling, and helium exhaust. In this area, we note the criticalrole that the development of helium glow wall conditioning has played in our programthis year. Work will continue on defining effective methods of divertor plasma-wall interaction for future machine designs. In FY 87 and early 88, our detailed investigationof ELMS in H-mode led us to propose that ELMs are triggered by edge ballooninginstabilities. In FY 89, we will concentrate on the physics of the L-H transition,bringing to bear data from the UCLA scattering system and microwave reflectometersystem.Radiofrequency HeatingThe rf heating program will have two operational components in FY 89: electroncyclotron heating (ECH) and ion Bernstein wave heating (Il3W). The ECH programin FY 87 and 88 utilized second harmonic outside launch and studied heating, obtained H-mode, suppressed sawteeth, and suppressed ELMs. Because of the low cutoffdensity for the available outside launch X-mode waves,5 2 x 1013 cme3, this impressive list of accomplishments was performed in a density regime somewhat disjointfrom other experiments, especially the high beta work which is usually done at higherdensity. Because of our desire to use ECH for sawtooth and ELM suppression to improve confinement at low q in the beta program, we have installed both an X-modeinside launch ECH system for which the cutoff density is about 7 x 1013 cm-3 and an.0-mode outside launch system for which the cutoff density is 5 3 x 1013 m - Initial experiments with the inside launch system resulted in some damaged waveguideswhich we plan to repair during a torus vent this winter. The outside lairnch system is6

operational. In low density plasmas, ECH will assist NBI current drive by boostingthe electron temperature.The IBW research program will begin in FY 89. The entire antenna and 2 MWgenerator system is installed and being commissioned. We already know that Il3Wcoupling to H-mode plasmas is less sensitive to edge conditions than fast wave cou-pling. Initial experiments will concentrate on basic IBW heating mechanisms. Keyphysics issues are linear versus non-linear absorption mechanisms and majority versus minority heating schemes. By employing the tunability of the system, varyingthe toroidal field, and using different harmonic resonances, great flexibility in heatinglocation can be obtained. In particular, the IBW should be useful in pressure profilecontrol in low BT, high beta plasmas. This application takes on added importancesince we believe the modes which prevent the attainment of the highest value of pNaxe primarily pressure driven.Current Drive ResearchThe current drive program in FY 89 will continue to investigate neutral beam(NBI) current drive, make a preliminary assessment of ECH current drive, and studyneutral beam current drive combined with ECH. Initial NBI current drive experimentshave, in addition to driving substantial currents, shown that the second stabilityregime can be approached. This occurs by virtue of the relatively high plasma energydeveloped at modest current resulting in high pp. Further experiments are planned toexplore the second stable regime behavior. The ability of ECH to assist NBI currentdrive by increasing the electron temperature will be studied. Current drive using ECHalone may require reorienting either the inside or outside launchers. This changerequires hardware modifications and a vent, and it is currently being considered.7

3. EXPERIMENTAL PLANTable I1 stlmmarizes the overall program for the next year for the basic programelements. The plan consists of 22 weeks of operation. Two machine vents in Decemberand April are anticipated for ECH waveguide modifications, diagnostic improvements,and general maintenance. At the present time the most variable element is the timingof the ECH waveguide modifications. The key hardware completion dates are given toindicate significant changes in capability. The numbers indicate OFE DOE milestones.8
