Abstract

The experiments described here seek to improve the physics basis for developing an advanced divertor for future burning plasma experiments. Focused variations in plasma parameters, divertor geometry, and magnetic configuration supported by a comprehensive set of divertor diagnostics, show that qpol has a much larger effect on detachment onset than q11, providing key data for direct comparison with edge simulation codes.
