The MAST-U spherical tokamak has extensive capabilities to produce and explore strongly shaped plasmas and alternative divertor configurations, especially the Super-X. Robust and accurate reconstructions of plasma equilibria are the foundation of many physics analyses, as well as being important intershot for informing operation of the tokamak. …

In this paper we a first qualitative analysis of the atomic and molecular processes at play during detachment in the MAST-U Super-X divertor, using divertor spectroscopy data. Our analysis indicates a wide operational regime of detachment of the MAST-U super-X divertor, which can be roughly separated in four phases: 1) The ionisation front detac…
