title = "Coaxial helicity injection non-inductive startup on NSTX",
abstract = "Plasmas initiated by non-inductive transient coaxial helicity injection (CHI) have been successfully coupled to Ohmic ramp-up to achieve high-quality discharges in NSTX, reaching 800 kA and exhibiting H-mode. Conditioning of the divertor regions is found to improve both transient-CHI startup currents and coupling. Flux savings of transient-CHI startup plasmas over Ohmic ramp-up-only discharges has been demonstrated.",
