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…

"Development of webcam-based near-infrared thermography in support of high temperature heat pipe experiments on Magnum PSI"
45th European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics (EPS), Prague, 2-6 July 2018

S. A. Silburn G. F. Matthews T. W. Morgan R. E. Nygren the Magnum PSI Team

Recent experiments on Magnum-PSI exposed a lithium-filled heat pipe to a hydrogen plasma beam to demonstrate the potential of radiatively cooled, high temperature heat pipes as modular, replaceable plasma facing components. Monitoring the temperature distribution over the full 20cm length of the pipe was a crucial element of the experiment, requiri…
