Plasma detachment in tokamaks is useful for reducing heat flux to the target. It involves interactions of the plasma with impurities and neutral particles, leading to significant losses of plasma power, momentum, and particles. Accurate mapping of plasma emissivity in the divertor and X-point region is essential for assessing the rel…

2D electron density profiles obtained from coherence imaging spectroscopy in different MAST-U divertor conditions are compared. The data includes variations of strike point position, core electron density, and heating power. The improved performance of the long-legged divertors results in a lower electron density and particle flux at the target …

The successful development of fusion power will rely on the key technology of breeder blanket components. These components surround the fusion plasma, providing significant heat for power generation, and breeding the tritium fuel on which the plasma reaction depends. However, the technology for these components remains at a low technology readin…
