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…
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…
The role of plasma-atom and molecule interactions on power \& particle balance during detachment on the MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor
Kevin Verhaegh, Bruce Lipschultz, James Harrison +12
This paper shows first quantitative analysis of the detachment processes in the MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor (SXD). We identify an unprecedented impact of plasma-molecular interac…
