In this regime, toroidal rotation, driven by co-directed (parallel to the plasma current) NBI, is the primary driver of the sheared E B velocity believed to suppress turbulence and its associated transport. With co-injection, the pressure gradient and toroidal rotation terms of the radial force balance equation ( E r = (Zien i) Pi νθibφ + νφibθ ) are in opposition, so that one must dominate in order to form a large radial electric field. Experiments are underway in to evaluate the potential for extending both the spatial extent and duration of these barriers through the use of counter-nbi. In these plasmas, the pressure gradient and rotation terms of the force balance add to each other, offering the potential for increased E B shear over an extended region of the plasma. At the same time, however, it is expected that the shearing rate ω E B will be smaller in the vicinity of the magnetic axis, suggesting a larger power threshold for establishing the barrier in this case. Experimental results thus far are consistent with this expectation. Transport barriers are difficult to form with moderate neutral beam heating, requiring a pellet trigger for formation, as was observed in TFTR 3 with balanced NBI. It is also expected that counter-nbi will aid efforts to extend the duration of the ITB by supporting an elevated minimum safety factor q min with counter-directed neutral beam current drive in the plasma core. Results of these experiments, both with higher power NBI and pellet assisted ITB formation will be discussed. * Work supported by U.S. Department of Energy under Contracts DE-AC3-99ER53, DE-AC- 7CH373, W-75-ENG-8, DE-AC5-9OR, and Grants DE-FG3-97ER55, DE-FG3-8ER535, and DE-FG3-9ER5373.

3 OVERVIEW Internal transport barriers (ITB) have been formed with counter-neutral beam injection, with characteristics that contrast with co-injection experience. Barrier formation dynamics are fundamentally different than with co-injection. Alignment of p and rotation terms of radial force balance to maximize E r : E r = (Z i en i ) - p i - v θi B φ + v φi B θ Power threshold appearance may be consistent with expectations based on the familiar E B shear turbulence suppression hypothesis. Resulting ITBs may be a good target for efforts at transport barrier control. Nearly stationary q profiles maintained via counter-nbcd. Broader profiles May be more favorable for MHD stability. Pellet injection has been used to form an ITB with a strong barrier in the electron density and T i T e. Barriers formed both with high field side deuterium and low field side lithium pellets. These have been sustained for up to s. Greenfield 7th IAEA TCM on H-Mode and Transport Barrier Physics 9/99

Internal transport barriers (ITB) have been formed with counter-neutral beam injection, with characteristics that contrast with co-injection experience. Power threshold. Nearly stationary q profiles. (Relatively) broad profiles. Pellet-triggered ITB characteristics. has been used to form an ITB with a strong barrier in the electron density and T i T e.

5 EARLY ELECTRON CYCLOTRON HEATING SLIGHTLY OFF- AXIS RESULTS IN INCREASED NEGATIVE CENTRAL SHEAR Poor beam ion confinement at low current contradicts the desire for a preheat phase to generate the conditions for ITB formation. Lost fast ions sputter carbon from walls. Large losses result in inefficient heating. Power from a single ECH gyrotron, applied early in the current ramp, produces the desired q profile without introducing fast ions to the plasma. Best results obtained when heating slightly off-axis (.5). On-axis absorption results in higher temperatures but drives instabilities. Little difference in q profile seen when resonance moved off-axis. Evidence that ECCD is dominant effect?

ECH preheat was used in all counterinjection ITB experiments Greenfield 7th IAEA TCM on H-Mode and Transport Barrier Physics 9/99
7 ITB OPTIMIZATION WITH COUNTER-NBI Goal of experiment: create, optimize and characterize core transport barriers formed with counter-injected neutral beams alone (no pellets). Used ECH preheat, although one shot without preheat also produced an ITB. ITBs were formed, but required more power than expected with co-injection. At full field, power threshold is around MW. Power threshold <5MW with co-nbi. Not always a clear bifurcation above threshold. Differences in barrier characteristics (compared to co-injected) More evident in density profile. Perhaps less so in ion profiles. Broader, with less steep gradients. Nondisruptive barrier termination. Work on sustainment was started. ITB sustained for a hew hundreds of ms after power stepdown (until neutral beams turned off or stepped up). Greenfield 7th IAEA TCM on H-Mode and Transport Barrier Physics 9/99 5
8 INTERNAL TRANSPORT BARRIER FORMATION WITH COUNTER-INJECTED NEUTRAL BEAMS I P Internal transport barrier experiments with counter-nbi follow a new recipe. ECH at.5 starting at.3s. High power neutral beams applied at.s (I P.9 MA). Later injection tried also, but best results found when NBI applied with elevated q. MHD stability behavior contrasts with co-injection discharges. Minidisruptions dump energy from plasma, can be cured. True disruptions are relatively infrequent. Sign of weaker pressure gradient than co-injected ITB?

9 ITB FORMATION WITH NEUTRAL BEAM COUNTER- INJECTION REQUIRES HIGH POWER With neutral beam co-injection, core transport barriers format very low power and expand when P NBI 5MW. With counter-injection, clear barriers are formed only when P NBI exceeds MW. Barrier formation is delayed or prevented when heating power is decreased. Formation occurs following a short ELMing or dithering H mode phase. Time shown at right is delay from high power onset to end of ELMing/dithering phase; ITB formation probably begins slightly earlier. Short-lived, more localized barriers are observed on some lower power discharges. seconds Time from high power onset to ITB formation No ITB formed Weak or no ITB High power NBI onset:.s.8s.s.s/no ECH preheat (ELMing H-mode) 8 P NBI (MW) Greenfield 7th IAEA TCM on H-Mode and Transport Barrier Physics 9/99 7
10 FLUCTUATIONS ARE DECREASED DURING ITB FORMATION Fluctuation amplitude drop during H- mode phase indicates ITB formation begins during H-mode phase. Does ITB starve the edge of power and trigger return to L-mode? Jump at H L transition probably due to increased fluctuations near the edge. Increase prior to terminating MHD event may indicate beginning of barrier degradation. Spatially localized data expected to show clearer signature of ITB.

11 HIGHER POWER THRESHOLDS MAY BE EXPECTED FOR ITB FORMATION WITH COUNTER-NBI The Hahm-Burrell formula for the E B shearing rate: can be rewritten as: where ω ω RBθ Er E B = ( ) B ψ RBθ RBθ E B = ( ) f p + frot B n p p f p = ne ψ ψ ne ψ [ ], and f rot = Ω. ψ Choosing the coordinate system so that the sign of f p is the same with either co- or counter-nbi, we find that near the axis (ψ ), f p is positive, and For co-injection: f rot is positive. For counter-injection: f rot is negative. This results in cancellation of the two terms and smaller values of the shearing rate near the axis with counter-injection, perhaps leading to a higher power threshold. Moving away from the axis, the two terms may add, rather than cancel, with counterinjection, thereby allowing larger shearing rates and more transport barrier expansion.

15 IS THE ITB POSITION CONTROLLED BY CANCELLATION OF RADIAL ELECTRIC FIELD TERMS WITH CO-INJECTION? Shearing rate ω E B believed to control transport barrier behavior. In most co-injected discharges, the pressure gradient and rotation terms of the radial electric field cancel at some radius. Does this lock ITB position? qmin > ITB in co-nbi discharge shown.

This is an eventual limitation to ITB performance, as the barrier is always terminated if q min reaches unity. Counter-NBI provides central counter-current drive, which can maintains an elevated q profile. Necessary, but not sufficient, for ITB sustainment Greenfield 7th IAEA TCM on H-Mode and Transport Barrier Physics 9/99 5
18 POWER STEPDOWN EXPERIMENTS ARE A PROMISING BEGINNING TO ITB CONTROL EFFORTS An element of the ITB experiment plan was to use neutral beam power modulation to control the ITB position. Although we did not have time for extensive studies, we had a few shots where the power was stepped down from to either or 5 sources. Difference in performance between two - source discharges may point to TFTR-like bifurcation. Highest performance was obtained on a discharge which stepped down from to sources, and back up to 5. Finer control of beam power is needed to exploit this technique as a control mechanism.

21 PELLETS CAN BE USED TO TRIGGER ITB FORMATION WITH DIFFERENT BARRIER CHARACTERISTICS Recent modifications to the pellet injection system allow deep penetration of deuterium pellets.
