    Notes: Toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) stability in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) [S. M. Kaye, M. Ono, Y.-K. M. Peng et al., Fusion Technol. 36, 16 (1999)] is analyzed using the improved NOVA-K code [N. N. Gorelenkov, C. Z. Cheng, and G. Y. Fu, Phys. Plasmas 6, 2802 (1999)], which includes finite orbit width and Larmor radius effects and is able to predict the saturation amplitude for the mode using the quasilinear theory. A broad spectrum of unstable global TAEs with different toroidal mode numbers is predicted. Due to the strong poloidal field and the presence of the magnetic well in NSTX, better particle confinement in the presence of TAEs in comparison with tokamaks is illustrated making use of the ORBIT code [R. B. White and M. S. Chance, Phys. Fluids 27, 2455 (1984)]. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The mission of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is to extend the understanding of toroidal physics to low aspect ratio (R/a(similar, equals)1.25) in low collisionality regimes. NSTX is designed to operate with up to 6 MW of high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) heating and current drive, 5 MW of neutral beam injection (NBI) and co-axial helicity injection (CHI) for noninductive startup. Initial experiments focused on establishing conditions that will allow NSTX to achieve its aims of simultaneous high βt and high-bootstrap current fraction, and to develop methods for noninductive operation, which will be necessary for Spherical Torus power plants. Ohmic discharges with plasma currents up to 1 MA and with a range of shapes and configurations were produced. Density limits in deuterium and helium reached 80% and 120% of the Greenwald limit, respectively. Significant electron heating was observed with up to 2.3 MW of HHFW. Up to 270 kA of toroidal current for up to 200 ms was produced noninductively using CHI. Initial NBI experiments were carried out with up to two beam sources (3.2 MW). Plasmas with stored energies of up to 140 kJ and βt=21% were produced. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The trajectories of neutral beam injected energetic ions in spherical tokamaks are examined. The large poloidal magnetic field in the outboard region of spherical tokamaks causes neutral beam injected ions to be born on trapped orbits even with cotangential injection. Numerical solutions to the equations for particle motion and for guiding center drifts are compared in several magnetic equilibria for a range of particle initial conditions. Even when rL/a∼1/4 the guiding center orbits closely resemble the path of the instantaneous center of gyration of the particle motion; exceptions occur primarily for orbits near the trapped/passing boundary. Finite Larmor radius effects are included in guiding center simulations of prompt orbit loss in the National Spherical Tokamak Experiment (NSTX) [J. Spitzer et al., Fusion Technol. 30, 1337 (1996)]. Orbit loss in the NSTX is caused primarily by collisions with the close fitting conducting shell, and severe losses would be expected with counter directed injection. While most orbits are similar to those found in conventional tokamaks, additional orbit types are possible in spherical tokamaks. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: It is shown that radial localization of optically thin electron cyclotron emission from superthermal electrons can be imposed by observation of emission upshifted from the thermal cyclotron resonance in the horizontal midplane of a tokamak. A new and unique diagnostic has been proposed and operated to make radially localized measurements of superthermal electrons during lower hybrid current drive on the Princeton Beta Experiment-Modified (PBX-M) tokamak [Bernabei, et al., Phys. Fluids B 5, 2562 (1993)]. The superthermal electron density profile as well as moments of the electron energy distribution as a function of radius are measured during lower hybrid current drive. The time evolution of these measurements after the lower hybrid power is turned off are given and the observed behavior reflects the collisional isotropization of the energy distribution and radial diffusion of the spatial profile. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Advanced tokamak configurations can have improved stability properties for high-n microinstabilities such as the toroidal drift mode (trapped-electron-ηi mode) and the kinetically-calculated magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ballooning mode. A promising means to achieve this end involves employing tokamak configurations with very small aspect ratio, as in the proposed National Spherical Tokamak Experiment (NSTX) [M. Ono et al., Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. 40, 1655 (1995)] or the existing Small Tight Aspect Ratio Tokamak (START) experiment [R. J. Colchin et al., Phys. Fluids B 5, 2481 (1993)]. Kinetic instabilities are analyzed here using a comprehensive toroidal eigenvalue code with realistic equilibria for cases based on NSTX and START along with artificial cases to study parametric sensitivities. It is found that, as the aspect ratio decreases, the amount of "bad'' magnetic curvature decreases, causing stabilization of both electrostatic and electromagnetic high-n instabilities at sufficiently small aspect ratio. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The first probe measurements of edge turbulence and transport in a neutral beam induced high confinement mode (H-mode) are reported. A strong negative radial electric field is directly observed in H-mode. A transient suppression of normalized ion saturation and floating potential fluctuation levels occurs at the low confinement mode to high confinement mode (L–H) transition, followed by a recovery to near low mode (L-mode) levels. The average poloidal wave number and the poloidal wave-number spectral width are decreased, and the correlation between fluctuating density and potential is reduced. A large-amplitude coherent oscillation, localized to the strong radial electric field region, is observed in H-mode but does not cause transport. In H-mode the effective turbulent diffusion coefficient is reduced by an order of magnitude inside the last closed flux surface and in the scrape-off layer. The results are compared with a heuristic model of turbulence suppression by velocity-shear stabilization.

    Notes: Application of Ion Bernstein Wave Heating (IBWH) into the Princeton Beta Experiment-Modification (PBX-M) [Phys. Fluids B 2, 1271 (1990)] tokamak stabilizes sawtooth oscillations and generates peaked density profiles. A transport barrier, spatially correlated with the IBWH power deposition profile, is observed in the core of IBWH-assisted neutral beam injection (NBI) discharges. A precursor to the fully developed barrier is seen in the soft x-ray data during edge localized mode (ELM) activity. Sustained IBWH operation is conducive to a regime where the barrier supports large ∇ne, ∇Te, ∇νφ, and ∇Ti, delimiting the confinement zone. This regime is reminiscent of the H(high) mode, but with a confinement zone moved inward. The core region has better than H-mode confinement while the peripheral region is L(low)-mode-like. The peaked profile enhances NBI core deposition and increases nuclear reactivity. An increase in central Ti results from χi reduction (compared to the H mode) and better beam penetration. Bootstrap current fractions of up to 0.32–0.35 locally and 0.28 overall were obtained when an additional NBI burst is applied to this plasma. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Simple analytic representations of the neoclassical transport coefficients for indented flux surfaces are presented. It is shown that a transport coefficient for an indented flux surface can be expressed in terms of a linear combination of the previously known transport coefficients for two nonindented flux surfaces. Numerical calculations based on actual equilibria from the PBX-M tokamak [Phys. Fluids B 2, 1271 (1990)] indicate that, even for modestly indented flux surfaces, the ion neoclassical thermal transport can be over a factor of 2 smaller than in a circular plasma with the same midplane radius or with the equivalent area.

    Notes: During tangential injection of neutral beams into low-density tokamak plasmas with β〉1%, instabilities are observed that degrade the confinement of beam ions. Neutron, charge-exchange, and diamagnetic loop measurements are examined in order to identify the mechanism or mechanisms responsible for the beam-ion transport. The data suggest a resonant interaction between the instabilities and the parallel energetic beam ions. Evidence for some nonresonant transport also exists.
