"Angular Dependence Measurements of Magnum-PSI Plasmas Using MAST-U Flush-Mounted Langmuir Probes"
24th International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices (PSI), South Korea, 24 - 29 January 2021

Measurements made using flush-mounted Langmuir probes (FMPs) in tokamaks are difficult to interpret when operating at grazing angles of magnetic field incidence due to the effects of sheath expansion on the probe collection area. The super-X divertor on the upgraded Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST-U) will have very shallow angles of magnetic fi…

Recent results from MAST address key physics issues for ITER operations and the design of future devices, by advancing our understanding of through analysis of high-resolution data and numerical modelling. Modelling of the interaction between filaments with BOUT++ indicates filaments separated by more than 5x their width move independently, and …
