3 Motivation One of the most attractive fusion relevant scenarios is a high plasma density regime as the fusion power depends squarely on density. Density limit obtained in our previous OH experiments was <n> ~ m -3 which is 0.75 of the Greenwald limit. No progress in the density limit was obtained with NBI. In spite of favorable predictive ASTRA simulations no plasma heating by NBI, either electrons or ions were observed at high plasma densities. MHD instabilities seemed to restrict the density rise. The densities higher m -3 were beyond the interferometer measurement possibility. The task was to improve the situation in all points.

8 High density OH operating Arrangements to obtain high density regime: Vacuum vessel preparation New toroidal limiter Vertical equilibrium improvement Experimental scenario optimization
9 Vacuum vessel preparation Steps: Vacuum pumping system exchange for oil free pumps with higher pumping rate Permanent vessel baking at C for several days Careful wall conditioning with glow discharge in He for hours Standard boronization procedure with carboran Result: Residual gas pressure decrease More clear mass-spectrum
10 New toroidal limiter Intercept a fraction of the particle flow to the outer wall Prevent the plasma contact with the lower dome at vertical displacement of the plasma column Graphite toroidal limiter
11 Vertical equilibrium improvement EFIT reconstruction of high density discharge with NBI EFIT permits the plasma shape reconstruction between tokamak shots. Vertical plasma displacement due to CS asymmetry was indicated, which led to the plasma current termination. A dipole vertical displacement sensor was not sensible for it. The sensor was replaced by a new quadrupole one. The situation has been improved, but still needs further perfection. R.G.Levin

Results: Stable operating at currents in excess of 230 ka at high average densities in the target OH regime. Line average densities <n e > ~ m -3 were achieved, (n/n G )~1

16 MHD activity Locking of 2/1 (Mirnov signal) and 1/1 (SXR emission) toroidally coupled modes in OH discharge #13532 In our previous experiments at average densities higher than m -3 strong instability of coupled 1/1 ( snake ) and 2/1 modes developed, which seemed to create a density limit The both modes have common frequency that evidences of their toroidal coupling. Locking of the modes leads to an internal reconnection event (IRE), manifesting it self in a characteristic spike on the plasma current trace. M.I. Patrov
17 MHD activity Sawtooth fluctuations in NBI heated shot #13727 with ultimate plasma density In our recent experiments, global plasma column stability is conserved for the whole duration of the discharge at much higher average plasma densities (1-1.5) m -3 Snakes did not occur in high density discharges The level of external MHD fluctuations, measured by Mirnov coils was low. The only instability observed in this type of discharges were sawtooth oscillations NB injection stabilizes IREs, which are specific for high current (low q ) OH discharges.

23 Conclusions 1. High density target OH regime with n/n Gr ~1 was obtained due to improved equilibrium control, accurate wall conditioning and special experiment scenario. 2. Greenwald limit was exceeded at co-current NBI of 0.6 MW 28 kev. The record parameters were obtained: <n e (0)>= m -3, β t =10% at magnetic field of 0.4 T and low q Efficient heating of electrons was observed, the electron energy content at NBI exceeded the OH one by more than 30 %. 3. The plasma density limit manifested in our previous experiments has been overcome without loss of the global stability. The toroidally coupled MHD modes 1/1 and 2/1, which seemed to restrict the density rise, was not observed at ultimate densities exceeding the Greenwald limit. 4. A double stage plasma gun with increased up to 110 km/s jet velocity was used for plasma feeding. Fast density increase (during the time less than 0.5 ms) in the center of the plasma column was registered by Thomson scattering. 5. The role of the 2nd cyclotron hydrogen harmonic at ICRH is shown to be negative when it is located in front of the antenna. Effective ion heating takes place at concentration of light ion plasma component up to 70%.
