Abstract

The Divertor Tokamak ASDEX, its neutral injection system and its ICRH system have been modified to permit additional heating with a power of 6 MW for pulse lengths up to 10 s. The paper summarizes the arguments for long-pulse heating, describes the technical modifications of the divertor performed, their effect on the operational behaviour of the tokamak and presents a few typical results of recent experiments exploiting the long-pulse heating facilities.
