A comparison between different alternative divertor configurations, in terms of benefits and additional complexity is carried out for the European DEMO. A synergetic approach between different aspects of the problem, including physics and engineering, provides new insight on the capabilities of the new divertors to handle the exhausted power wit…

Transport processes around the magnetic X-point of tokamaks, such as turbulence and mean-field drifts, are scarcely understood and difficult to investigate in experiments. In this paper, we explore the dynamics in a newly developed X-point scenario on the basic toroidal plasma device TORPEX and use it to validate plasma edge turbulence codes. In-si…

A thorough physics and engineering analysis of alternative divertor configurations is carried out by examining benefits and problems by comparing the baseline single null solution with a Snowflake, an X- and a Super-X divertor. It is observed that alternative configurations can provide margin and resilience against large power fluctuations, but the…
