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…

The separatrix operational space of next-step fusion experiments: From ASDEX Upgrade data to SPARC scenarios
Thomas Eich, Thomas Body, Michael Faitsch +13
Fusion power plants require ELM-free, detached operation to prevent divertor damage and erosion. The separatrix operational space (SepOS) is proposed as a tool for identifying acce…

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…
