Abstract

The effect of poloidal divertor geometry on the exhaust of impurities is studied experimentally. In the expanded-boundary geometry, strong accumulation of argon in the divertor region and minimal reflux into the main plasma are observed. A simple model provides an explanation for the observations and leads to the conclusion that the two key geometrical factors for effective impurity control are an expansion of the divertor channel and a narrow gap between the divertor channel and the wall.
