Integrating the plasma core performance with an edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) that leads
to tolerable heat and particle loads on the wall is a major challenge. The new European …

A future fusion reactor is expected to have all-metal plasma facing materials (PFMs) to
ensure low erosion rates, low tritium retention and stability against high neutron fluences. As …

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 …

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 …

First experiments with nonaxisymmetric magnetic perturbations, toroidal mode number n= 2,
produced by newly installed in-vessel saddle coils in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak show …

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 …

This paper presents recent activities covering different plasma fields, from both theoretical
and experimental point of views. An overview of the present interests of the scientific …

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 …

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 …

The ARC pilot plant conceptual design study has been extended beyond its initial scope [BN
Sorbom et al., FED 100 (2015) 378] to explore options for managing∼ 525 MW of fusion …
