Tokamak: TFTR Pulse Number: 43812 Contact: M. Zarnstorff Institution: PPPL, Princeton University Date of Shot: November 3, 1989 Analysis Code: TRANSP Run number: 43812a03 Analysis Date: August 20, 1997 Assumptions: Ti and Vphi measured by CXRS. Zeff profile determined from measurement of carbon density proifle by CXRS normalized to single-chord VB. Electron temperature measured by ECE radiometer, and Ne by 10-channel interferometer. Shot Desc.: This is a modest-current (1.4 MA), low-power (14 MW) supershot plasma that is perturbed by a deuterium pellet at 3.85 seconds, about 350 ms after the start of NBI. The pellet significantly raises the electron density: the total electron population increases 74% by the pellet. The pellet also appears to have a long-term effect on the plasma edge density; although the plasma density decays on a time scale ~100 ms, the edge density remains elevated by 10-20% relative to the pre-pellet value. The temperature and chii response to this perturbation of the ambient temperature (LTi) and density (Lne) gradient scale lengths provides a test of proposed transport models, especially those having a strong marginal stability character. A limitation of this discharge is that the density is modest: before the helium puff, nebar = 2.2e19 and Neo = 3.3e19, and the Zeff is rather high, 3.2 on-axis. Consequently in the pre-pellet phase, the beam density in this plasma is significant, comparable to the thermal-ion density. This shot is a member of scan SS1 which consists of various perturbations to supershot plasmas with pellets and gas puffs. Publication: M.
