High-power TCV scenario for conventional and alternative divertor studies
K. Lee, C. Theiler, M. Carpita +20
Alternative divertor configurations (ADCs) must be evaluated under boundary plasma conditions approaching reactor-level values to be considered a reliable, physics-based solution f…

A novel understanding of the role of plasma-molecular kinetics on divertor power exhaust
N. Osborne, K. Verhaegh, D. Moulton +12
During detachment, a buffer of neutral atoms and molecules builds up between the target and the ionising plasma. Collisions between the plasma and the molecules play an important r…

Investigating the influence of divertor baffles on nitrogen-seeded detachment in TCV with SOLPS-ITER simulations and TCV experiments
G. Sun, H. Reimerdes, C. Theiler +8
Plasma edge simulations with the SOLPS-ITER code are performed to study the influence of divertor baffles on nitrogen-seeded detachment in TCV single-null, L-mode discharges. Scans…
