18 THE DIVERTOR HAS SEVERAL UNIQUE FEATURES TO SUPPORT ADVANCED TOKAMAK PROGRAM AND DIVERTOR RESEARCH Independently operated divertor pumps at both upper strike points and at the lower outer strike point provide flexibilty Allow particle control in a wide range of triangularity, elongation, double null and single null Comparison of open and baffles configurations in same device Detachment control by adjusting the ratio of inboard to outboard exhausts Impurity enrichment by puff and pump at low density Low leakage to pumping speed ratios nearly eliminates recycling through baffle structure Outer upper pump; m 3 s 1 : 37 m 3 s 1 Inner upper pump; 1 m 3 s 1 : m 3 s 1 Lower pump; m 3 s 1 : m 3 s 1 11-/jy

24 We have a high density divertor solution We have a reasonable scientific basis for a conventional long-pulse tokamak divertor solution at high density (collisional edge, detached) Low Te recombining plasma leads to low heat and particle fluxes at wall Adequate ash control, compatible with ELMing H mode confinement Appropriate for future tokamaks (e.g. to high density ITER-RC) Concerns about simultaneously handling disruptions/elms and tritium inventory which shorten divertor lifetime The challenge is to find self consistent operating modes for other configurations...

28 AT Divertors are not just for heat flux reduction Advances in detached plasmas by this community have made possible a high density divertor solution (with some caveats, of course!)... Now divertor particle control is vital for AT modes Shaped plasmas are "standard", needed for high performance Real Time Shape control enables H-mode power threshold control, particle control Current profile control (ECCD) is at the heart of the AT, Impurities are important! Heat flux control in AT plasmas is expected to require impurity flow control "Puff and Pump" or active flow control, need progress in understanding flows Lots of new, exciting physics in the pedestal and x-point region 13- jy
