First wall mods status

NCSX SIT Meeting

July 1, 2002

•Points at 0, 30, 60 degrees from Art

•Points x 1.025 in cross sections

•RF launchers bigger issue than trim coils

Cross section at 60 degrees

Field joint and limiters are around this section

RF launchers on either side

Almost all points are inside first wall

Cross section changes abruptly

Limiter visible in this view

RF launchers on either side of this section mostly hidden by limiter

RF launcher options

Reduce number of launchers to 4 instead of 6 per section Less power?, unless strap lengths can be increased

Reduce coax to 4 inches instead of 6, maybe smaller

Move feeds farther out by running strap through “tunnels” to get straight-in shot at feed, but need more than 3 cm behind FW in these areas.
