Suppression of edge localized modes with real-time boron injection using the tungsten divertor in EAST

Z. Sun et al.

Summary: Continuous boron powder injection in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak enables robust suppression of edge-localized modes, demonstrating quasi-steady ELM suppression discharges with modest energy confinement improvement over a wide range of conditions. This ELM suppression is observed above a threshold edge B intensity and ceases within 0.5 seconds of termination of the B injection.

Physics design of new lower tungsten divertor for long-pulse high-power operations in EAST

G. S. Xu et al.

Summary: A new lower tungsten divertor has been developed and installed in the EAST tokamak to increase power handling capability, aiming at achieving long-pulse H-mode operations. The 'corner slot' divertor concept allows for stable detachment operation in a full metal wall environment.

Integration of full divertor detachment with improved core confinement for tokamak fusion plasmas

L. Wang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the excellent compatibility of actively controlled full divertor detachment with a high-performance core plasma. The high-beta(p) high-confinement scenario promotes divertor detachment and leads to a net gain in energy confinement, showing the potential of integrating excellent core plasma performance with an efficient divertor solution.

Comparison of divertor behavior and plasma confinement between argon and neon seeding in EAST

Kedong Li et al.

Summary: In recent EAST experiments, partial energy detachment was achieved by seeding with Ne or Ar on the upper outer divertor target, leading to a decrease in temperature and suppression of material sputtering. Ar showed better efficiency in reducing the electron temperature around the upper outer divertor strike point compared to Ne.

Sustained edge-localized-modes suppression and radiative divertor with an impurity-driven instability in tokamak plasmas

Y. Ye et al.

Summary: The study presents a sustained ELM suppression scenario achieved in the EAST tokamak, utilizing a low-n mode to drive strong particle transport and tungsten exhaust for maintaining ELM-stable state. A model has been developed to explain the mode excitation, coupling impurity radiative condensation instability with drift waves, offering a new ELM-stable scenario compatible with radiative divertor for future fusion reactors.

Characteristics of double-peaked particle deposition at divertor target plates in the EAST tokamak

J. C. Xu et al.

Summary: Increasing heat and particle deposition on divertor target plates is an effective method for reducing heat load in future tokamak fusion devices. Recent observations of double-peaked distribution (DPD) patterns in plasma discharges show potential for spreading heat and particle fluxes, with behavior dependent on plasma density and heating power. The physics underlying DPD suggests influence from electric field drifts and local sheath boundary conditions.
