1 Reconstruction of Pressure Profile Evolution during Levitated Dipole Experiments M. E. Mauel, A. Boxer, J. Ellsworth, D. Garnier, J. Kesner ICC Conference: Reno, Nevada (June 24, 28) 1

2 Abstract Magnetic levitation of the LDX superconducting dipole causes significant changes in the measured diamagnetic flux and what appears to be fascinating temporal evolution of plasma diamagnetic current. This poster describes the reconstruction of plasma current and plasma pressure profiles from external measurements of the equilibrium magnetic field, which vary substantially as a function of time. Previous free-boundary reconstructions of plasma equilibrium [1] showed the plasma to be anisotropic and highly peeked at the location of the cyclotron resonance of the microwave heating sources. Reconstructions of the peaked plasma pressures confined by a levitated dipole incorporate the small axial motion of the dipole (+/- 5 mm), time varying levitation coil currents, eddy currents flowing in the vacuum vessel, constant magnetic flux linking the superconductor, and new flux loops located near the hot plasma in order to closely couple to plasma current and dipole current variations.

3 Key Points During magnetic levitation, vertical motion of the superconducting dipole, changes in the levitation control coil current, and induced eddy currents couple to magnetic diagnostics. We self-calibrate the magnetics using levitation current ramps and pre-programmed jogs of dipole s vertical position. Using data from the calibration shots, the induced eddy currents are calculated (and digitally removed ) by inverting coupled linear ODEs. This allows Use of previous magnetic reconstruction methods. 3

30 Remaining To Do List Finalize free-boundary equilibrium calculations. (Almost finished...) Compare equilibria during supported and nonsupported operation. Is plasma pressure isotropic during levitation? Complete eddy-current structure modeling to improve accuracy Incorporate additional external and internal magnetic probes. 27

31 Summary Magnetic reconstruction of the plasma current during dipole levitation requires subtraction of direct and induced pick-up from control coils and dipole position. A self-calibration procedure using preprogrammed control currents is used to measure the coupling coefficients Plasma currents are measured to exceed 9 ka, representing stored energy greater than 1 kj!! 29
