Initial observations in X-point target divertor discharges on MAST-U

N. Lonigro, K. Verhaegh, J. Harrison +14

The first high-power (> 3 MW) H-mode experiments using a double-null X-point-target (XPT) divertor configuration have been performed on MAST-U. The XPT geometry is obtained by comb…

Evolution of radiation profiles in a strongly baffled divertor on MAST Upgrade

Fabio Federici, Matthew L. Reinke, Bruce Lipschultz +11

Plasma detachment involves interactions of the plasma with impurities and neutral particles, leading to significant losses of plasma power, momentum, and particles. Accurate mappin…

Effect of detachment on Magnum-PSI ELM-like pulses: I. Direct observations and qualitative results

Fabio Federici, Bruce Lipschultz, Gijs R. A. Akkermans +4

Conditions similar to those at the end of the divertor leg in a tokamak were replicated in the linear plasma machine Magnum-PSI. The neutral pressure in the target chamber is then…

Effect of detachment on Magnum-PSI ELM-like pulses: II. Spectroscopic analysis and role of molecular assisted reactions

Fabio Federici, Bruce Lipschultz, Gijs R. A. Akkermans +6

The linear plasma machine Magnum-PSI can replicate similar conditions to those found in a tokamak at the end of the divertor leg. A dedicated capacitor bank, in parallel to the pla…

Divertor shaping with neutral baffling as a solution to the tokamak power exhaust challenge

K. Verhaegh, J. R. Harrison, D. Moulton +20

Exhausting power from the hot fusion core to the plasma-facing components is one of the biggest challenges in fusion energy. The MAST Upgrade tokamak uniquely integrates strong con…

Investigations of atomic \& molecular processes of NBI-heated discharges in the MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor with implications for reactors

K. Verhaegh, J. R. Harrison, B. Lipschultz +20

This experimental study presents an in-depth investigation of the performance of the MAST-U Super-X divertor during NBI-heated operation (up to 2.5 MW) focussing on volumetric ion…
