Time Dependent Error Field Correction and LH Error Field Thresholds

2024 Research Campaign, Transient Control

Purpose of Experiment

The objective of this experiment is to test and validate time dependent EF correction (EFC) techniques during the full dynamical shot evolution as the error sources evolve through ramp-up, flattop, and ramp down. The second objective of the experiments will be to validate model predictions for how to make the scenario more resilient to EFs. Together, these steps will provide the high priority insights necessary for ITER and FPPs to create an effective EFC plan, enabling their initial plasma operations.
