Title: Means of varying conditions in the expanded boundary divertor without affecting energy confinement

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6731621

Expanded boundary divertor discharges in Doublet III have shown a significant enhancement in confinement relative to limiter discharges with similar plasma density, current, toroidal field and neutral beam heating power. This improvement is insensitive to divertor density, recycling rate and power radiated from the divertor. Accordingly, it may be possible to exploit the improved divertor confinement in a fusion reactor while independently adjusting conditions in the divertor to satisfy reactor engineering constraints.
