Case description:

- profiles, as given by ASTRA:

ASTRA profile xml file

- important information on details of ASTRA file, sign conventions etc:

- important note: the xml q-profile data is not reliable (fast eq solver in ASTRA). Please use the q-profile given in eqdsk file.

- presently there is no detailed F-NBI available, just the moments density and NB beta (see xml file)

-typically, D,T, He ash and energetic alpha particles should be considered. Also Be impurities play a role.

- some additional resources:

*sensitivity analysis

*local solutions: gif Re(kinetic spectrum)

*local solutions: gif Im(kinetic spectrum)
