Performance assessment of a tightly baffled, long-legged divertor configuration in TCV with SOLPS-ITER

G. Sun, H. Reimerdes, C. Theiler +5

Numerical simulations explore the possibility to test the tightly baffled, long-legged divertor (TBLLD) concept in a future upgrade of the Tokamak à configuration variable (TCV). T…

Investigating the impact of the molecular charge-exchange rate on detached SOLPS-ITER simulations

Kevin Verhaegh, Aelwyn C Williams, David Moulton +7

Plasma-molecular interactions generate molecular ions which react with the plasma and contribute to detachment through molecular activated recombination (MAR), reducing the ion tar…

Power exhaust and core-divertor compatibility of the baffled snowflake divertor in TCV

Sophie Gorno, Claudia Colandrea, Olivier Février +8

A baffled Snowflake Minus Low-Field Side (SF-LFS) is geometrically-optimised in TCV, increasing divertor neutral pressure, to evaluate the roles of divertor closure (comparing with…

The role of plasma-molecule interactions on power and particle balance during detachment on the TCV tokamak

Kevin Verhaegh, Bruce Lipschultz, James Harrison +14

This paper shows experimental results from the TCV tokamak that indicate plasma-molecule interactions involving and possibly play an important role as sinks of energy…

Tomographic reconstruction of the runaway distribution function in TCV using multispectral synchrotron images

T. A. Wijkamp, A. Perek, J. Decker +8

Synchrotron radiation observed in a quiescent TCV runaway discharge is studied using filtered camera images targeting three distinct wavelength intervals. Through the tomographic S…
