Description of the activity

A new magnetic coil system consisting of two helical arrays of triple magnetic coils has been recently installed inside the TJ-II vacuum vessel [1]. It covers densely sector D of the device.

This proposal requests machine time with NBI plasmas in order to detect NBI-driven Alfvén modes, measure phase differences and figure out the corresponding toroidal mode numbers. A new magnetic coil system consisting of two helical arrays of triple magnetic coils has been recently installed inside the TJ-II vacuum vessel.

Description of required resources

Required resources:

  • Number of plasma discharges or days of operation: One day
  • Essential diagnostic systems: All the standard diagnostics
  • Type of plasmas (heating configuration): ECRH + NBI
  • Specific requirements on wall conditioning if any: Good density control (necessary condition for relatively long AEs). This request implies usually freshly conditioned wall (B+Li)
  • External users: need a local computer account for data access: yes/no
  • Any external equipment to be integrated? Provide description and integration needs:
