"A novel hydrogenic spectroscopic technique for inferring the role of plasma-molecule interaction on power and particle balance during detached conditions"

K. Verhaegh B. Lipschultz C. Bowman B.P. Duval U. Fantz A. Fil D. Moulton O. Myatra D. Wünderlich F. Federici D.S. Gahle J.R. Harrison A. Perek M. Wensing

Detachment, an important mechanism for reducing target heat deposition, is achieved through reductions in power, particle and momentum; which are induced through plasma-atom and plasma-molecule interactions. Experimental research in how those reactions precisely contribute to detachment is limited. Both plasma-atom as well as plasma-molecule intera…

"Progress Toward Divertor Detachment in TCV H-mode Discharges"

James Harrison C. Theiler B. Lipschultz A. Perek R. Maurizio B. Linehan W. A. J. Vijvers B. P. Duval B. Labit U. Sheikh K. Verhaegh S. Henderson A. Karpushov O. Fevrier H. de Oliviera H. Reimerdes A. Merle X. Feng the TCV team and the EUROfusion MST1 team

Recent experiments on TCV have made significant progress toward partial detachment of the outer divertor in neutral beam heated H-mode plasmas. The heating power required to enter H-mode was measured in a range of divertor configurations, finding that, in the vicinity of the PL-H/ne curve, the threshold power is largely independent of the poloidal …
