First feedback-controlled divertor detachment in W7-X: Experience from TDU operation and prospects for operation with actively cooled divertor

In the last experimental campaign (OP1.2b) of the stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), boronisation as a mean for first wall conditioning was applied for the first time which led to strongly reduced impurity fluxes from plasma-facing components. Thermal detachment at the uncooled target plates of the...
