On the eve of component procurement, this paper discusses the present physics basis for
the first ITER tungsten (W) divertor, beginning with a reminder of the key elements defining …

In this paper, we present a brief historic overview of the research on dust in fusion devices
with carbon plasma-facing components and then highlight the most recent developments in …

Simulations of ITER divertor performance, geometry optimization and estimates of key
related parameters such as fuelling throughput have historically relied on the SOLPS …

The SPARC tokamak project, currently in engineering design, aims to achieve breakeven
and burning plasma conditions in a compact device, thanks to new developments in high …

The basic physics of the processes playing the most important role in divertor plasma
detachment is reviewed. The models used in the two-dimensional edge plasma transport …

Impurity seeding into a tokamak divertor for radiative cooling is considered as a tool for
achieving detached/semi-detached regimes required to meet the condition of acceptable …

Owing to its high magnetic field, high power, and compact size, the SPARC experiment will
operate with divertor conditions at or above those expected in reactor-class tokamaks …

In this paper, we present linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic analyses in the pedestal region of
two DIII-D ELMy H-mode discharges using the CGYRO code. The otherwise matched …

Based on particle and energy balances, a reduced model is derived for the physical
mechanisms leading to the occurrence of stable and unstable X-point radiators (XPRs), the …

The erosion of tungsten (W), induced by the bombardment of plasma and impurity particles,
determines the lifetime of plasma-facing components as well as impacting on plasma …
