Abstract

Detailed experimental divertor data are presented on the profiles of density and temperature in the inner and outer divertor fans, the radiated power distribution, the gas pressure and the spectroscopically derived particle fluxes, all as a function of the discharge density. At low and medium density, the inner divertor is cold and dense compared to the outer divertor. At high density, strong X-point MARFE and separatrix radiation partially detaches the inner divertor. Probe measurements which penetrate into the X-point MARFE at the outer divertor are presented.
