Fishbones can trigger Resistive Wall Modes
Okabayashi
•Fast ions & toroidal rotation help stabilize RWM
•Fishbones cause reduction in both triggers RWM
•Low frequency, bursting instability with large effect on fast ions utilize new EP diagnostics

Fast-ion Loss Detector (FILD) measures lost trapped ions at
fishbone burst
Pace, Fisher
•Bright spot for ~80 keV, trapped fast ions
•Loss orbit resembles banana orbits deposited by perpendicular beams
![Page 7: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Perpendicular beams are born near the resonant frequency
•Er approximately adds to precession frequency like Doppler shift
•Counter-perp: ~9.5 kHz; Co-perp: ~6.7 kHz
•Initial mode frequency: ~8 kHz
•Modes w/o counter injection are different
Van Zeeland
•The p=0 curves represent the pre resonance
![Page 8: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Counter-perp beam ions are expelled onto the loss orbit measured by FILD

Fishbones are driven at the precession frequency of the trapped fast ions

11
Is the mode an energetic particle mode (EPM) or normal mode?
Normal Mode
nEP << ne
Wave exists w/o EPs.
Re() unaffected by EPs.
EPs resonate with mode, altering Im()
Energetic Particle Mode1
EP ~
EPs create a new wave branch
Re() depends on EP distrib. function
EPs resonate with mode, altering Im()

12
Initial frequency depends on toroidal rotation & precession frequency
•Database of 388 bursts
•Scales with rotation near q=2 but not central rotation
•Best fit: nearly linear dependence (expected for both normal mode & EPM)
•Precession frequency proportional to E/Ip
•Data depends on E/Ip more weakly than fpre suggests normal mode?
![Page 13: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Mode frequency chirps down (like classic
fishbone)
•Rotation frequency changes < 1 kHz but mode changes ~3 kHz
•Large frequency sweep suggests EPM
• f increases with fast-ion losses suggests EPM
![Page 14: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Growth rate similar to classic fishbone
•Growth rate scales with mode amplitude•Considerable variation in decay rate
•Unlike PDX, average decay rate similar to growth rate
![Page 15: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Strong distortion of waveform observed late in burst
•Different from classic fishbone
•Distortion varies with position (on internal fluctuation diagnostics)
![Page 16: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Distortion greatest near maximum amplitude
•Use variation in half-period to measure distortion
•Other definitions give similar results

Distortion occurs in every burst

•Total fast-ion loss rate inferred from slope of neutrons
•CER acquired in 0.5 ms bins
•Conditionally average 8 similar bursts
•Drop observed near q=2
•Losses act like a torque impulse—a negative beam blip (deGrassie PoP 2006)
•Magnitude reasonable
•<5% FIDA drops for R<208 cm
Non-ambipolar losses cause sudden drop in electric field toroidal
rotation
![Page 21: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Losses increase with increasing mode amplitude
•Linear dependence predicted for convective losses (classic fishbone)
•Offset linear for convective with a threshold
•Quadratic for diffusive
•Fair fit to all 3 models
![Page 22: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Losses have a definite phase relative to the mode
•BILD saturated on most bursts
•Relatively weak burst
•Like “beacon” measured for classic fishbones
•Phase consistent with Ex Bconvective transport
![Page 23: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

All Loss Diagnostics Observe the “Beacon”
•Ion cyclotron emission (ICE) at 255o (midplane)
•Beam ion loss detector (BILD) at 60o (-12 cm)
•Neutral particle analyzer (NPA) at 225o ( ~ -35o)
•Fast ion loss detector (FILD) at 225o (R-1 port)
•Langmuir probe (ISAT) at 240o (-19 cm)
![Page 24: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
BES signal has large spikes at peak mode amplitude
•BES channel near q=2
•Phase with mode preserved throughout burst
•BES amplitude grows dramatically as mode distorts
•Interpretation: BES signal is a combination of bipolar ne fluctuations and spikes of FIDA light as fast ions are expelled to high neutral density region at edge

![Page 26: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Phase of neutron oscillations slips relative to mode
•Fluctuations caused by motion of confined fast ions relative to scintillator
•Detrend neutron signal to observe oscillations clearly
•Initially fast ions oscillate with mode
•Phase slips over 360o
•No slip in internal fluctuations
![Page 27: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Phase slip occurs when distortion increases
![Page 28: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Phase slip is linearly proportional to frequency chirp
Okabayashi
![Page 29: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
A proportionality constant of 2 is consistently observed
Okabayashi
•Rate of neutron drop also correlates with frequency chirp rate
![Page 30: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Does drag of the external kink on the wall cause phase slippage?
•Classic fishbone is an internal kink
•Classic fishbones had one angle of injection (greater anisotropy in velocity space)
Okabayashi
![Page 31: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Phase slippage occurs when mass changes frequency faster than driving
frequencyWave & mass chirp together
Mass chirps faster
•Model wave & fast ions as a forced oscillator
•Chirping does not produce phase slippage when wave & particle chirp at same rate
•Suggests average precession frequency changes more than mode frequency non-resonant population causes opposite phase slippage
![Page 32: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Speculation about the distortion & phase slip
Higher n modes are destabilized because... •Modes cross the linear threshold as the f.i. profile evolves•Nonlinear coupling
Is distortion important?•No? The n=1 predator-prey cycle determines evolution•Yes? Losses peak when distortion is greatest, suggesting an important role in fast-ion transport
Is neutron phase slip important?•No? Non-resonant (co-perp) confined trapped ions produce neutron signal•Yes? Strong correlation with distortion & losses suggest a causal relationship
![Page 33: Off-axis Fishbones in DIII-D](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56815a22550346895dc766e3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
