The European roadmap to the realization of fusion electricity breaks the quest into eight
missions. For each mission, it reviews the current status of research, identifies open issues …

The divertor of a tokamak reactor will have to satisfy a number of critical constraints, the first
of which is that the divertor targets not fail due to excessive heating or sputter-erosion. This …

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 …

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 …

The first stable completely detached H-mode plasma in the full tungsten ASDEX Upgrade
has been achieved. Complete detachment of both targets is induced by nitrogen seeding …

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 …

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 …

A multidiagnostic approach, utilizing Langmuir probes in the midplane, X-point and divertor
walls, along with lithium beam and infrared measurements is employed to evaluate the …

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 …
