W. Heidbrink, G. Kramer, R. Nazikian, M. Van Zeeland, M. Austin, H. Berk, K. Burrell, N. Gorelenkov, Y. Luo, G. McKee, T. Rhodes, G. Wang, and the DIII-D Team Alfven Instabilities in DIII-D Mode structure agrees with ideal MHD theory Flattened fast-ion density profile Modes on thermal-ion spatial scale Goal: Detailed measurements of fluctuations and fast ions to predict alpha transport in ITER

Alfven Modes are Usually Unstable in Advanced Tokamak (AT) Plasmas V2 R0 V2 In this talk… Reversed shear with early beam injection 80 keV Deuterium Co-injection Modest density  large beam beta to drive Alfven modes Qualitatively similar conditions in many plasmas  Alfven modes are common in DIII-D

Toroidicity-induced Alfven Eigenmodes (TAE) & Reversed Shear Alfven Eigenmodes (RSAE) V2 R0 V2 Data Toroidicity-induced Alfven Eigenmodes (TAEs) Global modes Frequency changes gradually Reversed Shear Alfven Eigenmodes (RSAE) Localized near q min Frequency sweeps upward as q min decreases Simple Theory Toroidal rotation also shifts frequencies ~ nf rot Increasing Time 

Theory: TAEs are Global, RSAEs are Localized V2 R0 V2 Global mode with many poloidal harmonics Localized mode with one poloidal harmonic Linear eigenfunctions are calculated by the ideal MHD code NOVA  T e, f = 74 kHz  T e, f = 72 kHz n=3 TAE n=3 RSAE Van Zeeland, PRL 97 (2006)

Sensitive Diagnostics Measure Fluctuations in n e, T e, and B V2 R0 V2 Van Zeeland, PPCF 47 (2005) L31; Nucl. Fusion 46 (2006) S880. TAEs & RSAEs RSAEs dominate TAEs dominate (Beam Emission Spectroscopy) (Electron Cyclotron Emission)

Signals Depend on the Mode Structure: RSAEs are Localized V2 R0 V2 RSAEs dominate TAEs & RSAEs RSAEs dominate Van Zeeland, PPCF 47 (2005) L31; Nucl. Fusion 46 (2006) S880. n=3 RSAE

Signals Depend on the Mode Structure: TAEs are Global V2 R0 V2 TAEs & RSAEs Van Zeeland, PPCF 47 (2005) L31; Nucl. Fusion 46 (2006) S880. n=3 TAE TAEs dominate

The Upgraded ECE Diagnostic Measures the Radial Eigenfunction V2 R0 V2 RSAEs are localized at q min TAEs are globally extended Van Zeeland, PRL 97 (2006)

The Mode Structure agrees with linear ideal MHD Theory V2 R0 V2 Van Zeeland, PRL 97 (2006) The MHD  T e amplitude is scaled to match the ECE data No free parameters in the  n e comparison The TAE data also agree well n=3 RSAE #122117

Alfven Modes Degrade Fast-ion Confinement V2 R0 V2 Volume-averaged neutron rate is below the classical TRANSP prediction during the strong Alfven activity Fast-ion D  (FIDA) diagnostic measures the spectrum of fast ions with 5 cm spatial resolution * FIDA “density” near  qmin is reduced during the strong Alfven activity *Heidbrink, PPCF 46 (2004) 1855; Luo, RSI 77 (2006) submitted.

The Fast-ion Deficit Correlates with Alfven Activity V2 R0 V2 The strength of the Alfven activity tends to increase with beam power in similar plasmas. The discrepancy between the classical prediction and the data is largest when the Alfven modes are strong *For this comparison, the FIDA density and neutron rate are normalized by their values at 2.0 s in the 1-source shot (when Alfven activity is undetectable). The FIDA deficit is larger than the neutron deficit

The Fast-ion Density Profile is Flattened V2 R0 V2 During the strong Alfven activity, the fast-ion density profile from FIDA is nearly flat The fast-ion profile inferred from the equilibrium * is also very flat The classical profile computed by TRANSP peaks on axis *The kinetic EFIT equilibrium uses MSE and magnetics data to compute the pressure profile. Subtraction of the thermal pressure yields the fast-ion pressure.

Fast-ion Transport Broadens the Profile of Neutral-Beam Driven Current V2 R0 V2 *Ferron, this conference; Wong, PRL 93 (2004) ; Wong, NF 45 (2005) 30. The current diffuses more slowly than classically predicted Independent determinations of q min from MSE-based equilibrium reconstructions and from the RSAE integer q crossings agree Apparently co-circulating fast ions that move to  ~ 0.5 broaden the NBCD profile. * #122117

Modes also Observed on the Thermal-ion Gyroradius Scale V2 R0 V2 Nazikian, PRL 96 (2006) ; Kramer, Phys. Pl. 13 (2006) Infer toroidal mode number from Doppler shift  n max ~ 40 BES measurements of k   agree with NOVA, corroborating n numbers.. 3cm x 3cm BES array Calculations indicate thermal-ion drive predominates for high n modes  important in ITER?

Diagnostic Advances  Rigorous Tests of Alfven Eigenmode Theory V2 R0 V2 Diagnostic Advances Fluctuations:  T e,  n e,  B Fast ions: FIDA, Neutrons, Pressure, Current Conclusions TAE and RSAE mode structure agree with linear MHD Strong Radial Fast-ion Transport High n modes on thermal-ion scale In Progress Compute fast-ion transport in validated wave fields & compare with FIDA profile Self-consistent nonlinear simulations Study excitation threshold of high n modes
