"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. In this work, we investigate a new spectroscopic t…

"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…

"Detachment Dynamics on the TCV Tokamak"

J.R. Harrison W.A.J. Vijvers C. Theiler B.P. Duval S. Elmore B. Labit B. Lipschultz S.H.M. van Limpt S.W. Lisgo C.K. Tsui H. Reimerdes U. Sheikh K.H.A. Verhaegh M. Wischmeier The MST TCV Teams

Divertor detachment in the TCV tokamak has been investigated through experiments and modelling. Density ramp experiments were carried out in ohmic heated L-mode pulses with the ion B drift directed away from the primary X-point, similar to previous studies [pitts2001]. Before the roll-over in the ion current to the outer strike point, C III and D? …
