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…

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…

First demonstration of Super-X divertor exhaust control for transient heat load management in compact fusion reactors
B. Kool, K. Verhaegh, G. L. Derks +14
Nuclear fusion could offer clean, abundant energy. However, managing the immense power exhausted from the core fusion plasma towards the divertor remains a major challenge. This is…
