The first generation of nuclear fusion reactors is expected to operate using a mixture of deuterium(D) and tritium(T) fuel. Controlling the D:T ratio is a promising option to control the fusion burn rate. The Joint European Torus (JET), as the only operational tokamak which can use tritium, is uniquely placed to test th…
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 fro…
