NSTX-U NSTX-U Collaboration Status and Plans - April / May 2014

Research plans and needs for this year (FY2014) in preparation for NSTX-U operations in FY2015

• Fusion reaction profile determination– MAST results: new, for plasma physics interesting data

• Funding status:– Current grant ends August 14– New application pending

• Diagnostic work planned by August 14:– Analysis of MAST proton/triton/neutron data– TRANSP comparison– Enhance proton detection system

• FIU has currently 4 detectors fully instrumented• Procure amplifiers for up to 8 detectors

– Preparation for installation in NSTX-U• Conceptual design of new detector mount for NSTX-U• 4 and 6 – 8 detector array

Research Plans for FY2015 beyond(The years covered will depend on the duration of your present grant)

• Installation of charged fusion product diagnostic– Construction and installation of new array– Use simple version possibly with 4 – 6 detectors

• Optimize energy resolution– Perform signal noise studies– Perform rate studies– Optimize electrical shielding

• Increase the number of channels (sight lines) to 8– Explore other detector systems (e.g. pad detectors)

• Data taking with maximal number of channels• Increase to full 16-channel system

NSTX-U NSTX-U Collaboration Status and Plans - April / May 2014

Ideas to enhance participation in NSTX-U research/program by U.S. Universities, early-career researchers, and students

• Projects feasible for smaller university groups:– Participate actively in diagnostic development (funding needed)– Data taking (remotely if possible)– Data analysis– Travel support

• Example: FIU group – 1 faculty member, 1 Ph.D. Student (Ph.D. in 2015), 1 new Ph.D.

student– Undergraduate Student Involvement: Students are very interested in

this research area• At FIU we currently we have six undergraduate students involved• Experiment preparations with individual responsibilities• Participation in experimental campaigns (e.g. MAST, NSTX-U), 4 students• Participation in various undergraduate programs e.g McNair, REU, SULI

Highest-priority incremental measurement capability(For diagnostic solicitation grantees funded for 2012-2015)

• First proton diagnostic for NSTX-U construction– Mechanical

• Detector mount for NSTX-U• Mount design adapted to NSTX-U• Thermal shielding design• Construction

– Electrical• Cabling and feed through systems• Electrical shielding optimization• 2-4 More standard SSB detectors

– Travel
