Improving the XGC0 modeling of the Alcator C-Mod discharge 1120815027


A better combination of anomalous transport coefficients have been found to match the experimental profiles in the Alcator C-Mod discharge 1120815027 (runid # xcmod-a37):
Electron temperature profileIon temperature profilePlasma density profile
These results can be compared with old simulation results given in .
Note, that the electron and ion temperature profiles looks different (the experimental profiles are identical). The resulting bootstrap current profile looks as

The width and maximum value of the localized peak in the poloidal rotation have changed significantly:
