JET_46123_com.dat ITER Profile Database; datasets prepared by Pam Stubberfield, July 1999 Pulse #46123 is one of the best Optimised Shear JET discharges with reduced current Ip=2.5MA and reduced toroidal magnetic field Bt=2.45T. Its characteristic feature was the utilisation of Argon bleed which allowed a reduction of the heat flux through the separatrix and the avoidance of violent type I Elms at the transition to the ELMy H-mode In all other respects this discharge was similar to other optimised shear plasmas on JET. It was initiated with a fast current ramp so that the current reached its maximum value at 45.0sec. 1 MW of ICRH power was used for preheating beginning from t=42.5 sec. The main heating was applied at t=43.9 sec and reached its full capacity (13.5 MW of NBI and 4 MW of ICRH) at t=44.0 sec. Plasma energy reached its quasi steady state level of 7MJ at t=45 sec with the confinement enhancement factor H89 up to 2.5. This high performance phase lasted for about 2 sec. At that time NBI power was reduced to 5 MW which led to a termination of the internal transport barrier. The radiated power started to rise after the beginning of Ar bleeding and saturated at the level of about 5 MW. The discharge was affected by a tearing-like mode, which started at about 45.6s and lasted until the very end of the high performance phase. The dataset files in this subdirectory were prepared from TRANSP run 204O run by Yuriy Baranov on 12 Feb 1999 on the ROSS batch workstations based on JET shot 46123 taken on 6 November 1998. There are 23 1-D Ufiles and 37 2-D Ufiles. All beam related quantities (energy, particle sources, currents etc) have been smoothed to suppress Monte-Carlo noise. In the 2d file the deuterium density is stored in NM1. In the file JET_46123_0d.dat data is given at 46.60 secs during the ELMy H-mode phase the ICRH power being at 2.8 MW and the NBI at 13.4 MW. Values for kappa and delta in the 0d, 1d and 2d files are from the TRANSP output derived from the boundary input definition provided by EFIT. kappa = (Zmax-Zmin)/(Rmax-Rmin); delta = (RGEO - R(Zmax))/a XPLIM is from XLOC ; SEPLIM is given by EFIT. PLTH is defined by WTH/TAUTH coming directly from TRANSP output and not as defined in the standard list of variables. The 1d files for IP,VSURF and IBOOT have negative values as normal for JET. Some comments on this particular TRANSP run 204O; 50ms analysis time resolution; VMEC equilibrium LEVGEO = 6 up-down asymmetry Ti profile from CX measurements is used from 43.75 to 47.2 secs, before and after this time period a Ti profile is provided by assuming Xi=2*Xneo. Te profile vs. radius is from ECE measurements mapped by TRANSP equilibrium. Ne profile from LIDAR measurements;1D bulk radiation is used in the analysis. Rotation velocity profile from CX measurements is provided. 1D Zeff from visible bremsstrahlung to 43.10 secs then 2D Zeff profile profile was invented for 43.15
