2 Abstract for an Invited Paper for the DPP99 Meeting of The American Physical Society Understanding and Control of Transport in Advanced Tokamak Regimes in C.M. GREENFIELD, General Atomics The program focuses on development of Advanced Tokamak regimes with sustained high fusion performance accomplished via pressure and current profile control. Ion thermal transport in these regimes can locally approach neoclassical values. Momentum, particle and, less often, electron thermal transport are also reduced. Optimization is approached through study of the transport processes governing formation, expansion, and sustainment of the low transport region. Internal transport barriers (ITB) often form in neutral beam (NBI) heated discharges with flat or hollow current profiles when the E B shearing rate ω E B becomes large enough to suppress turbulence and its associated transport. With co-nbi (rotation plasma current), the pressure gradient and toroidal rotation terms in the radial force balance E r =(Z i en i ) p i v θi B φ +v φi B θ oppose, requiring one to dominate for large E r. The central ω E B, dependent on the gradient of E r, is calculated largest with co-nbi. This may explain the absence of a distinct power threshold in co-nbi discharges, while those with counter- NBI exhibit unambiguous ITB formation only with P NBI MW (weak, transient barriers occur at lower power levels). Pellet injection can reduce or eliminate this threshold. ITB expansion can broaden the pressure profile, increase stability limits and improve bootstrap alignment. Results from other devices indicate the ITB radius, ITB, often follows the radius of the minimum safety factor, q min, implying that control of q min might be a technique to expand the ITB. A rapid initial current ramp and early, high power co-nbi was used to obtain q min.9 in. ITBs occurred at ITB..5, indicating little connection to q min. ITB often coincides with cancellation of opposing terms in the force balance, so that both E r and ω E B are small. With counter-nbi, there is no such cancellation, and larger ITB radii have been observed. If an L H transition is triggered during ITB formation, a reduced transport region can be formed encompassing the entire plasma, with no distinct barrier. Neoclassical ion transport throughout the plasma was previously obtained in such discharges with an ELM-free edge, terminated by edge MHD instabilities. A similar regime with an ELMing edge and ion diffusivities a few times neoclassical has been produced and sustained with β N H 89 9 for up to s. A key feature of these discharges is a significant bootstrap current (f BS 5%), with a flat bootstrap profile across most of the plasma. Additional current drive is required only near the half-radius for sustainment. Future plans include providing this current via ECCD. Supported by U.S. DOE Contracts DE-AC3-99ER563, DE-AC5-96OR6, W-75-ENG-8, DE-AC-76CH373. With L.R. Baylor, K.H. Burrell, J.C. DeBoo, T.C. Luce, B.W. Stallard, E.J. Synakowski, and the Team.
3 ADVANCED TOKAMAK EFFORTS IMPROVE ON THE TOKAMAK CONCEPT The tokamak has been very successful in achieving parameters near those required for ignition. The advanced tokamak seeks to further improve the concept: Improved fusion performance achieved through profile control. H mode: reduced transport at the edge. Core transport barriers. Combined core and edge barriers. Steady state operation requires noninductive current drive consistent with improved profiles. Bootstrap, beam driven, RF driven, Our challenge is to develop regimes with low transport (high confinement) which are consistent with MHD stability. Broaden core barriers and control edge gradients.

4 EXPERIMENTS IN EXPLORE THE FORMATION, EXPANSION AND SUSTAINMENT OF ADVANCED TOKAMAK REGIMES FORMATION of internal transport barriers Power thresholds for creating an internal transport barrier (ITB) may depend on the balance of terms of the E B shearing rate. Pellets reduce threshold and trigger barriers with T i T e. EXPANSION of the internal transport barrier Core barriers are broadened with counter-neutral-beam injection. Larger or broader pressure gradients help E B shear stabilize microturbulence with counter-nbi and destabilize with co-nbi. SUSTAINMENT of Advanced Tokamak regimes A regime combining an ELMing H mode edge and a reduced transport core has been developed with high fusion performance (β N H 89 =9) sustained for up to 6 τ E. Confinement limited by relatively benign MHD instabilities rather than the usual transport processes. Flat bootstrap current profile makes this regime attractive for sustainment with off-axis ECCD. Greenfield APS
5 COUNTER NEUTRAL BEAM INJECTION ALLOWS ACCESS TO NEW REGIONS OF PARAMETER SPACE Standard recipe for internal transport barrier (ITB) formation in uses co-nbi (neutral beam injection parallel to the plasma current) applied early during the current ramp. ITB forms near magnetic axis at very low power. Fundamental limit to sustainment occurs when q min reaches unity. TFTR, JT 6U both report best performance with balanced or counter-nbi. However, these devices exhibit a power threshold. Recent experiment exploit the advantages of counter NBI. Counter neutral beam CD maintain an elevated q profile. Alignment of pressure gradient and rotation terms of the E B shearing rate is favorable with counter-nbi except near the magnetic axis. Greenfield APS
6 ITB FORMATION EXHIBITS POWER THRESHOLD WITH COUNTER-INJECTION Co-NBI: ITB forms with P NBI.5MW and expands with P NBI 5MW. Counter-NBI: Clear barriers formed only with P NBI ~9MW. Beam power losses occur in both co- and counter-nbi discharges. ~% lost for co-injection Shinethrough and charge exchange. ~3-% with counter-injection. Additional beam ion orbit losses. Difference between co and counter beam ion losses is too small to explain observed increase in threshold power. Threshold power similar to that in TFTR balanced injection at similar toroidal field. Greenfield APS
7 HIGHER POWER THRESHOLDS MAY BE EXPECTED FOR ITB FORMATION WITH COUNTER-NBI The Hahm-Burrell formula for the E B shearing rate: with ω RBθ Er E B= ( ) B ψ RBθ E r = (Z i en i ) - p i - v θi B ϕ + v ϕi B θ counter ω rot 5 s -.. ω p (carbon impurity) can be rewritten ω E B = ω p + ω rot co -..7s (L-mode).9s (L-mode).s (ITB).s (ITB) The sign of ω p is invariant for co or counter NBI. It can vary with location, due to the interplay between first and second derivatives. The sign of ω rot is different for co and counter NBI. Near the magnetic axis: ω p and ω rot oppose with counter-nbi and add with co-nbi. ω E B larger with co-nbi. Off-axis: ω p and ω rot add with counter-nbi and oppose with co-nbi. ω E B larger with counter-nbi (counter) Greenfield APS

11 PELLETS CAN BE USED TO TRIGGER ITB FORMATION WITH DIFFERENT BARRIER CHARACTERISTICS Both deuterium and lithium pellets have been used to trigger formation of the ITB.

26 RECENT EXPERIMENTS HAVE INCREASED OUR UNDERSTANDING AND CONTROL OF TRANSPORT IN THE ADVANCED TOKAMAK FORMATION of internal transport barriers Appearance of ITB formation power threshold with counter NBI may be related to interplay between p and rotation terms of the E B shearing rate near magnetic axis. Pellets trigger formation of core barriers with T i T e (Baylor, UI. ). EXPANSION of the internal transport barrier Broader ITB produced with counter-nbi. Except in the vicinity of the magnetic axis, the pressure gradient and rotation terms of the E B shearing rate add, rather than cancel (as in co-nbi cases). Increased or broadened pressure profile aids E B shear stabilization of microturbulence. Broadened heating profiles may also impact barrier dynamics. Greenfield APS
27 RECENT EXPERIMENTS HAVE INCREASED OUR UNDERSTANDING AND CONTROL OF TRANSPORT IN THE ADVANCED TOKAMAK () SUSTAINMENT of Advanced Tokamak regimes Most promising AT regime combines ELMing H mode edge and low transport core. β N H 89 = 9 sustained for up to 6 confinement times. Performance appears to be controlled by relatively benign MHD instabilities rather than microturbulence. This allows the plasma to avoid more serious instabilities which could terminate the high performance. Ultimately, the regime is terminated by resistive wall modes. Work on controlling these instabilities is a major focus of the program. This regime is a promising candidate for sustainment with ECCD. Greenfield APS
