Proposal of an alternative upper divertor in ASDEX Upgrade supported by EMC3-EIRENE simulations

We discuss the benefits of installing a pair of in-vessel coils with currents |Ifx| ≲ 50 kAt in the upper divertor of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) to study a series of ‘alternative’ divertor configurations, like the Snowflake (SF) and the X-divertor (XD), that are currently considered as alternative solution...
