Abstract

On DIII-D, progress has been made in elevated q_minsteady state scenario development by using off-axis NBI. Current and pressure profile broadening enables access to higher ideal MHD β_N limits. Plasmas with q_min > 2 so far have lower normalized energy confinement H_89P than similar plasmas with lower q_min. Plasmas with q_min ≈1.4 have been taken to nearly stationary conditions for 2 τ_R at β_N = 3.5.
