This contribution uses TCV experiments with varying divertor configurations to investigate the particle- and heat cross-field transport within the scrape-off layer, which greatly determines the peak heat flux on the plasma-facing components. The proximity ...
Using SOLPS-ITER, we model a TCV conventional divertor discharge density ramp to understand the role of various processes in the loss of target ion current. We find that recombination is not a strong contributor to the rollover of the target ion current at ...
The Multi-Spectral Imaging system is a new diagnostic that captures simultaneous spectrally filtered images from a common line of sight while maintaining a large etendue and high throughput. Imaging several atomic line intensities simultaneously may enable ...
