Detachment dynamics and disturbance rejection in the TCV X-Point Target divertor

M. Winkel, K. Verhaegh, B. Kool +11

The X-Point Target divertor is an alternative divertor configuration with a secondary X-point in its divertor volume. In this work, we investigate the dynamic response and disturba…

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…

2D electron density profile evolution during detachment in Super-X divertor L-mode discharges on MAST-U

N. Lonigro, R. S. Doyle, K. Verhaegh +12

2D electron density profiles obtained from coherence imaging spectroscopy in different MAST-U divertor conditions are compared. The data includes variations of strike point positio…

Two-dimensional inference of divertor plasma characteristics: advancements to a multi-instrument Bayesian analysis system

Daniel Greenhouse, Chris Bowman, Bruce Lipschultz +3

An integrated data analysis system based on Bayesian inference has been developed for application to data from multiple diagnostics over the two-dimensional cross-section of tokama…

The impact of non-local parallel electron transport on plasma-impurity reaction rates in tokamak scrape-off layer plasmas

Dominic Power, Stefan Mijin, Kevin Verhaegh +2

Plasma-impurity reaction rates are a crucial part of modelling tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) plasmas. To avoid calculating the full set of rates for the large number of important…
