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 …

Experimental evidence for the impact of a region of high density localised in the high-field
side scrape-off layer (the HFSHD) on plasma confinement is shown in various dedicated …

Plasmas in machines with all metal plasma facing components have a lower Z eff, less
radiation cooling in the scrape-off layer and divertor regions and are prone to impurity …

With increasing size of a tokamak device and associated fusion power gain an increasing
power flux density towards the divertor needs to be handled. A solution for handling this …

Screening of high-Z (W) impurities from the confined plasma by the temperature gradient at
the plasma periphery of fusion-grade H-mode plasmas has been demonstrated in the JET …

The design of future fusion reactors and their operational scenarios requires an accurate
prediction of the plasma confinement. We have developed a new model that integrates …

A reduction of the pedestal pressure with increasing separatrix density over pedestal density
(ne sep/ne ped) has been observed in JET. The physics behind this correlation is …

The understanding of divertor physics and the evolution of divertor detachment is crucial for
developing the capability to model power exhaust in current experiments and reliably predict …

Small perturbations and strong impurity exhaust capability associated with the small grassy
ELMs render the grassy-ELM regime a suitable candidate for achieving steady-state H …

The role of the pedestal position on the pedestal performance has been investigated in
AUG, JET-ILW and TCV. When the pedestal is peeling-ballooning (PB) limited, the three …
