From this, an overview of the experimental program would be: | |||
a) In a first day of operation, ECRH and NBI plasmas in standard configuration would be probed replicating previous discharges by Kobayashi et al. In this ocasion, both probes would be used to characterize filaments across the SOL in their respective positions and to measure <math>n_e</math>, <math>\phi_f</math> and <math>T_e</math> profiles to the innermost posible position. Time permitting, polarization experiments could be attempted as well. Simultaneously, the GPI system would be used in a slow setting to provide a broad evaluation of <math>n_e</math> and <math>T_e</math> in the edge region. | |||
b) On top of these main diagnostics, profile characterization will be carried out using TS, He beam, ECE, interferometry and profile reflectometry. DR will be used to provide measurements of <math>E_r</math> at the edge, thus complementing probe measurements from floating potential. | |||
c) In a second day of operation, experiments would be repeated once again, using a magnetic configuration featuring enhanced connection length after the separatrix. One viable way to achieve this is to reduce the volume of the magnetically confined region, thus increasing the distance between the LCFS and the limiting elements of the vacuum vessel. | |||
d) In a third day of operation, experiments carried out on the first day would be repeated using a magnetic configuration featuring a low rational in the vicinity of the LCFS, thus creating a set of islands in the edge. These measurements would as well be carried both with normal and reduced volume. | |||
