abstract = {Pulsed injections of boron carbide granules into
Wendelstein 7-X stellarator (W7-X) plasmas transiently
increase the plasma stored energy and core ion temperatures
above the reference W7-X experimental programs by up to
$30\%.$ In a series of 4 MW electron cyclotron resonance
heating experiments, the PPPL Probe Mounted Powder Injector
provided 50 ms bursts of 100 μm granules every 350 ms
at estimated quantities ranging from approximately
1 mg/pulse to over 30 mg/pulse. For each injection, the
stored energy was observed to initially drop and the
radiated power transiently increased, while the radial
electron density profile rose at the edge as material was
assimilated. Once the injected boron carbide was fully
absorbed, the density rise transitioned to the core while
the stored energy increased above the previous baseline
level by an amount linearly correlated with the injection
quantity. During the injection, the ion temperature gradient
steepened with peak core ion temperatures observed to
increase from a nominal 1.7 keV to over 2.6 keV for the
largest injection amounts. Enhanced performance is
accompanied by a reversal of the radial electric field at ρ
< 0.3, indicating that the core transport has switched to
the ion root. These observations are suggestive of a change
in transport and provide further evidence that externally
induced profile modifications provide a possible path to
enhanced W7-X performance metrics.I. INTRODUCTIO},
