Future fusion reactors require a safe, steady state divertor operation. The required detached
operation is, in tokamaks with metal walls, usually achieved by seeding of impurities, such …

Observations of divertor plasma detachment in tokamaks are reviewed. Plasma detachment
is characterized in terms of transport and dissipation of power, momentum and particle flux …

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 …

Divertor detachment offers a promising solution to the challenge of plasma-wall interactions
for steady-state operation of fusion reactors. Here, we demonstrate the excellent …

Detachment of high power discharges is obtained in ASDEX Upgrade by simultaneous
feedback control of core radiation and divertor radiation or thermoelectric currents by the …

Regime with the plasma detached from the divertor targets (detached divertor regime) is a
natural continuation of the high recycling conditions to higher density and stronger impurity …

Future fusion reactors require a safe, steady state divertor operation. A possible solution for
the power exhaust challenge is the detached divertor operation in scenarios with high …

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 …

Divertor detachment is explored on the TCV tokamak in alternative magnetic geometries.
Starting from typical TCV single-null shapes, the poloidal flux expansion at the outer …

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 …
