Experimental observation of heat flux mitigation during divertor detachment in the DIII-D small angle slot divertor

Employing an array of surface eroding thermocouples (SETCs), the heat flux measured at the outer strike point of the DIII-D Small Angle Slot (SAS) divertor was found to be reduced by ~50% when the plasma reached the detachment regime compared to the attached state. Reduction in heat flux of similar...
