Experiments on plasma detachment in a V-shaped slot divertor in the DIII-D tokamak
Experiments in DIII-D demonstrate that the upstream plasma density to detach an un-pumped slot divertor is similar for a V-shaped and a flat-end slot, despite significantly higher neutral Senolytic Activator pressure in the V-shaped slot and in contrast to SOLPS-ITER predictions.The detachment threshold can be reduced by using in-slot instead of ma
