Description
Prompt losses of ions having turning points in the vicinity of the poloidal field null of a snowflake divertor are analyzed. Classification of the ion trajectories is presented. It is concluded that prompt losses in a snowflake affect a broader zone than in the standard X-point divertor. The size of the phase-space 'hole' produced by prompt losses is evaluated.
