Confinement scalings for the ASDEX L-mode in different divertor configurations

  • 1. Max-Planck-Institut fuer Plasmaphysik, EURATOM-IPP Association, Garching (Germany)

Description

We present results of confinement studies on an L-Mode database which covers 10 years of operation of ASDEX. During this period, ASDEX has been modified several times. The most important modifications were made on the 2 divertors. Operation of ASDEX started with closed divertors (DV-I), went through a period with open divertors (DV-II open), which allowed for high neutral gas recycling through by-passes, back to situations with first the by-passes in the upper and later in the lower divertor closed. In addition, different techniques of wall conditioning were employed on ASDEX so that discharge conditions under stainless steel, carbonized and boronized walls can be studied. (orig.)
