Abstract

The stellarator WENDELSTEIN 7-X (W7-X) includes water-cooled plasma facing components (PFCs) to allow steady-state operation and to provide an efficient particle and power exhaust up to 10 MW for a maximum pulse duration of 30 min. Ten divertor units are arranged along the helical edge of the fivefold periodic plasma column. The three-dimensional shape and positioning of the target surfaces are optimized to address physics issues for a wide range of experimental parameters, which influence the topology of the boundary. The three-dimensional target surfaces are reproduced by a series of consecutive plane target elements as a set of parallel water-cooled elements positioned onto the frameworks of target modules. The design and arrangement of target modules and elements are described.
