In high performance regimes short (sub ms) bursts of heat and particles from the core (edge localised modes, ELMs) happen cyclically increasing temporarily the heat flux by 2-3 orders of magnitude, and this can hardly be tolerated by large tokamaks. If ELMs happen when the target is detached the plasma temporarily reattaches and looses energy in th…

The MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor is typically seen to detach in steady state discharges. However, divertor re-attachment is observed to occur during fast transient heat loads. In this paper the effect of edge localised modes (ELMs) on the divertor are diagnosed on fast time scales with Thomson scattering and with a new ultrafast divertor spectrosc…

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…

In this work we provide experimental insights into the impact of plasma-molecule interactions on divertor detachment by applying new spectroscopic analysis techniques to the hydrogen Balmer line series to investigate how both atom and plasma-molecule interactions impact particle balance. Our analysis on a representative L-mode TCV density ramp dis…
