An elevated q-min discharge with good predicted off-axis current drive and with HFS reflectometry data is 195040. This is a double-null lower single-null biased elevated q-min discharge with high core temperature. Simulation of core wave propagation for HFS LHCD predicts strong single-pass damping with efficient off-axis current drive. Additionally, HFS reflectometry predicts good coupling through the HFS SOL, with low internal electric fields and low reflected power. The experimental approach here is to start from 195040, replacing the ECCD in the discharge with HFS LHCD, and achieve a high performance elevated q-min discharge. HFS SOL measurements as well as ML-based predictions (if proved to be accurate) will be used to optimize SOL conditions for efficient LHCD coupling through the SOL while monitoring the LHCD-SOL interaction. Optimization of SOL conditions will primary be achieved via changes to the plasma shape. Inner gap and magnetic balance (dR_sep), are the strongest actuators for controlling the HFS SOL, though triangularity and elongation may also be used. Modification to the inner gap is the preferable actuator to change, as it has minimal affect on overall plasma performance. Launcher coupling performance will be measured by the amount of non-inductive current drive (MSE, V_loop), launcher arc detectors, reflected power measurements, and predictions from full-wave simulations. The experiment will begin by restoring 195040, replacing the launched ECCD with HFS LHCD within the discharge. ECCD or additional ECH heating will likely be unavailable during this experiment due to limitations of the gyrotron/klystron cooling water temperature, but this will be better informed by the LHCD commissioning experiments. Only one system can be operated at a given time. Baseline HFS SOL density profiles will be measured by the reflectometer and compared against the ML predictions. Any LHCD-induced modification to the HFS SOL will be measured by the HFS SOL reflectometer. HFS LHCD power will be ramped up to the maximum available power over the course of a few discharges. The speed of this ramp is dependent on previous LHCD experiments and the available power. Power modulation at the peak available LHCD power will allow for corresponding measurement of HFS SOL density modulation, profile recovery, and obtain data for possible ML-based LHCD-SOL analysis. High q-min discharges are high-performance discharges that may be difficult to obtain on the first attempt. In particular, the timing of the HFS LHCD (just like the timing of the ECCD) is critical to achieving high performance and successfully developing the desired q-profile. It is likely that multiple discharges will be attempted, with varying HFS LHCD timing or beta-n ramp timing. Success of this experiment is also highly dependent on the amount of HFS LHCD available. Without significant off-axis current drive, high performance will not be achieved. Optimization of HFS LHCD coupling will begin with a scan of the main HFS SOL actuator: inner gap. During q-min flat top, discharge 195040 has an inner gap of ~ 4 cm. Inner gap will be scanned up and then down, as well as down and then up, to study any hysteresis effects. If at this point the machine learning models have predicted the measured SOL conditions with reasonable accuracy, highly optimized discharges will be attempted using results from multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization (MOBO) of SOL conditions. This Bayesian-based optimization attempts to maximize coupled power while minimizing internal launcher electric field (arc risk). By allowing the MOBO algorithm to modify density, dR_sep, inner gap, elongation, triangularity, P_ECH, within a reasonable margin, launcher performance can be maximized. If this optimization is found to be effective on previous experiments during LHCD commissioning, it will be used here to optimize coupling. Even if ML predictions are not available, LHCD performance will be monitored during the inner gap scan, and a optimized discharge with the best performing inner gap and dRsep will be performed. A final time-permitting experiment would be modification of the launcher n_∥ spectrum. The launched LHCD n_∥ spectrum determines core wave propagation but also changes the impedance matching conditions at the plasma edge. Decreasing the n_∥ could result in more efficient current drive in the core, and improved wave coupling at lower edge densities. Viability of different launcher spectra (such as n_∥=-2.9,-2.5) will be informed by LHCD conditioning and possibly other LHCD experiments. For each discharge with LHCD, modifications to the HFS SOL will be measured by the HFS SOL reflectometer. While some data on the LHCD-SOL interaction will be obtained during prior LHCD commissioning and operation, this will be likely the first time it is measured in a target AT scenario. Larger than expected SOL modifications due to LHCD may require modification of the experimental plan, such as increasing or decreasing initial SOL plasma density. It is noted that the predictive machine learning models are continually being improved, and the exact experimental plan may change slightly as more data is gained and models improve during LHCD commissioning and operation.
