The effect of divertor closure on detachment onset in DIII-D

Experiments at DIII-D use different divertor geometries to measure the effect of divertor closure on detachment onset. We compare matched H-mode discharges in the closed (upper) divertor and the open (lower) divertor and use as a detachment onset metric the rollover in peak ion flux to the target, J...
