4-July 8 on RF electron heating via mode conversion. The Te profile shape was very asymmetric and sawteeth were surpressed. These results are being studied further at present. On July 8, the ICRF-induced plasma rotation studies were continued. The data obtained was with constant RF power, target ne, and IP, the BT was varied in H-minority plasmas to investigate the dependence of the RF power disposition profile.
Indications are the driven rotation peaks with off-axis heating.
This data will be analyzed in detail and discussed with the ITER design team. The week of July 11 was a D-T operational period. However, there was difference with the ELMs behavior. Also there is a clear difference between DD and DT plasmas. The density fluctuations are lower in DT where the taueE is higher.
