Book Description
DIII-D currently operates with a single- or double-null open divertor and graphite walls. Active particle control with a divertor cryopump has demonstrated density control, efficient helium exhaust, and reduction of the inventory of particles in the wall. Gas puffing of D2 and impurities has demonstrated reduction of the peak divertor beat flux by factors of 3--5 by radiation. A combination of active cryopumping and feedback-controlled D2 gas puffing has produced similar divertor heat flux reduction with density control. Experiments with neon puffing have shown that the radiation is equally-divided between a localized zone near the X-point and a mantle around the plasma core. The density in these experiments has also been controlled with cryopumping. These experimental results combined with modeling were used to develop the new Radiative Divertor for DIII-D. This is a double-null slot divertor with four cryopumps to provide particle control and neutral shielding for high-triangularity advanced tokamak discharges. UEDGE and DEGAS simulations, benchmarked to experimental data, have been used to optimize the design.

Book Description
This paper presents an overview of recent results from divertor physics studies in DIII-D. Heat flux measurements at input power levels up to 20 MW show that steady divertor heat loads of up to 4 MW/m2 are obtained in H-mode discharges with ELMs. No carbon blooms are observed. The heat flux profile is highly peaked at the outside strike point in single-null discharges, and is up/down asymmetric in double-null discharges. Recent experiments with gas injection below the X-point have demonstrated a factor of two reduction in the peak divertor heat flux for H-mode plasmas at these power levels. These heat flux data, along with measurements of the n{sub e} and T{sub e} profiles at the divertor are being used to help interpret the first reported measurements of the erosion profile for a set of graphite divertor tiles exposed to several months of high power tokamak operation. We have now modified the divertor hardware in order to carry out experiments with divertor biasing, baffling, and pumping. 26 refs., 8 figs.

Book Description
In this paper the authors summarize recent progress on DIII-D in developing techniques for divertor power and particle control relevant to next generation tokamaks such as the proposed ITER and TPX devices. Density control and helium removal by divertor pumping have been demonstrated for the first time in high confinement ELMing H-mode discharges ([tau] [approximately] 2 [times] [tau][sub ITER-89P]) following installation of a divertor cryopumping system. The peak divertor heat flux in similar H-mode discharges has been reduced through production of a radiating mantle with neon or argon puffing (reductions of 3--5). A number of diagnostics have been added to improve the understanding of the physical processes involved. They are now designing modified double-null divertor structures for DIII-D that will provide improved particle control for high-triangularity VH-mode plasmas while at the same time allowing for gas puffing to reduce the divertor heat flux.

Book Description
The DIII-D tokamak is being upgraded to allow for divertor biasing, baffling, and pumping experiments. This paper gives an overview of the new diagnostics added to DIII-D as part of this Advanced Divertor Program. They include tile current monitors, fast reciprocating Langmuir probes, a fixed probe array in the divertor, fast neutral pressure gauges, and H{sub {alpha}} measurements with TV cameras and fiber optics coupled to a high resolution spectrometer. 9 refs.

Book Description
The Advanced Divertor (AD) for General Atomics tokamak, DIII-D, was installed in the summer of 1990. The AD has enabled two classes of physics experiments to be run: divertor biasing and divertor baffling. Both are new experiments for DIII-D. The AD has two principal components: (1) a continuous ring electrode; and (2) a toroidally symmetric baffle. The tokamak can be run in bias baffle or standard DIII-D divertor modes by accurate positioning of the outer divertor strike point through the use of the DIII-D control system. The paper covers design, analysis, fabrication, installation, instrumentation, testing, initial operation, and future plans for the Advanced Divertor from an engineering viewpoint. 2 refs., 5 figs.

Book Description
Recent experiments on DIII-D have been carried out to understand and explore optimized tokamak operating modes by exploiting control of the plasma current and pressure profiles using new RF current drive and divertor technology. DIII-D emphasizes plasma shape and divertor experiments using a digital plasma control system and extensive diagnostics to develop improved understanding and control of transport barriers in high performance plasmas. The emphasis of the program is to extend the duration of high performance operating modes beyond the plasma current relaxation time by using ICRF and ECH current drive. Engineering features of the new RF systems being developed for these experiments as well as new divertor results are described. DIII-D employs multi-element ICRF antennas for fast-wave electron heating and on-axis current drive and is beginning 110 GHz ECH experiments with MW-level gyrotrons for off-axis current drive. DIII-D employs active cryogenic divertor neutral particle pumping for plasma density and plasma pressure profile control. A divertor modification is now being implemented on DIII-D to pump higher triangularity plasmas and to better baffle neutral backflow from the recycling divertor region.
