Performance of plasma detachment under the large heat flux was investigated to optimize the divertor design, using SONIC simulation with Ar impurity seeding, where Pout = 500 MW, ne = 7

at the core-edge boundary and the same diffusion coefficients for ITER simulation. Effects on the plasma temperature and density distributions were compared to the conventional divertor. The first run results with the same radiation power fraction of 0.92 in the conventional divertor showed that full detached plasma is produced, the maximum radiation region was maintained upstream the divertor target, and both the plasma heat load plus radiation load at the target was reduced to 10 MWmm
level. Simulation for the lower radiation power fractions of 0.8-0.9 was also performed, and physics issues of the short super-X divertor are discussed.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：8.92(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)According to an early work on the behavior of the plasma current decay in the JT-60U disruptive discharges caused by the radiative collapse with a massive neon-gas-puff, the increase of the internal inductance mainly determined the current decay time of plasma current during the initial phase of current quench. To investigate what determines the increase of the internal inductance, we focus attention on the relationship between the electron temperature (or the resistivity) profile and the time evolution of the current density profile, and carry out numerical calculations. As a result, we find the reason of the increase of the internal inductance: The current density profile at the start of the current quench is broader than an expected current density profile in the steady state, which is determined by the temperature (or resistivity) profile. The current density profile evolves into peaked one and the internal inductance is increasing.

Times Cited Count：14 Percentile：72.14(Nuclear Science & Technology)Design study of poloidal field coil (PFC) locations and current distribution for the advanced divertor in the Demo tokamak reactor was presented. Concept of the super-X divertor (SXD) for Demo reactor has an outer divertor leg longer than the conventional divertor, and it extends outboard to increase both the target wetted area and connection length to the outer target (
). Equilibrium calculation code, TOSCA, was developed by introducing two parameters, i.e. super-X null radius (
) and a ratio of the poloidal flux at the super-X null to that at the separatrix (
). Some SXD magnetic configurations with minimal number of PFCs located outside toroidal field coil (TFC) were Demonstrated. Locations of the divertor target were also investigated. It was found that the flux expansion can be increased up to 4-10 depending on the target location and , and that SXD has an advantage to increase with . Thus, the divertor plasma temperature is expected to decrease at the same upstream plasma density. On the other hand, large currents for the divertor PFCs were necessary. Other arrangements of PFCs such as (1) larger and (2) inside TFC, can reduce the PFC currents.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：57.01(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Dust can be an important contributor to impurity contamination of the core and scrape-off-layer (SOL) plasmas in tokamak fusion devices. This is the first report about investigation of transport of carbon dust particles in case of JT-60U tokamak using the dust transport code (DUSTT). The DUSTT code takes into account various plasma-dust interaction processes. In the present report, background plasma parameters in JT-60U such as densities and temperatures of electron, ion and neutral atom were computed with the UEDGE code. Three dimensional trajectories, temperature evolution, and radius variation of dust particles launched from different positions at the inner divertor, the outer divertor and the dome structure in JT-60U tokamak were simulated numerically to study dynamics and transport of dust particles there. As a result, the lifetime of dust particles is dependent mainly on the ion density in trajectories in final term.

Relation between deuterium retention, wall temperature and hydrocarbon generation in 30-s H-mode discharges of JT-60U was described. In discharges with a density below 50% of the Greenwald density, the trend of the deuterium retention against pulse number depended on the wall temperature: with increasing pulse number, the deuterium retention decreased at a wall temperature of 300 
C, decreased gradually at 150 C, and remained constant at 80 C. In contrast, in discharges with high densities above 70% of the Greenwald density, the deuterium retention increased with increasing pulse number at the above three wall temperatures. In the high density discharges, the deuterium retention flux increased with increasing hydrocarbon generation flux, suggesting that the deuterium is retained in co-deposition layers of carbon, which originated from the hydrocarbons.

Times Cited Count：4 Percentile：30.49(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Characteristics of the fluctuations at three locations (Low-Field-Side midplane, X-point, and High-Field-Side SOLs) of the JT-60U SOL were investigated in L-mode and ELMy H-mode plasmas. Influence of their poloidal asymmetry at the LFS and HFS on the parallel plasma flow was investigated. For the L-mode, poloidal asymmetry in djs/
js
was enhanced at the LFS midplane (40-60%), while it was small (10-20%) at the HFS SOL and LFS X-point. On the other hand, djs/js was similar (20-30
) for the ELMy H-mode. Statistical properties (Skewness) and their poloidal asymmetry were different in the ELMy H-mode and L-mode plasmas. In the ELMy H-mode, positive S (= 0.3-0.5) was seen near the separatrix. However, in the L-mode, larger S (=0.5-0.9) was observed at the LFS midplane, and it extended to the far SOL (r 10 cm). In-out asymmetry in the intermittent transport will contribute to produce the SOL flow pattern.

Times Cited Count：38 Percentile：78.35(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Comparison between fluctuation characteristics at high-field-side (HFS) and low-field-side (LFS) scrape off layers (SOLs) has been made, for the first time, in the L mode plasma of the JT-60U tokamak using reciprocating Langumuir probes. Statistical analysis based on probability distribution function (PDF) was employed to describe intermittent (non-diffusion) transport in SOL plasma fluctuations. The positive bursty events appeared most frequently at LFS midplane associated with blobby plasma transport, then the PDF is strongly skewed positively, while the PDF in HFS SOL is close to Gaussian distribution. Conditional averaging analysis of the positive bursty events at LFS midplane indicates the intermittent feature with a rapid increase and a slow decay is similar to that of plasma blobs theoretically predicted. Statistical self-similarity was also investigated with Fourier power spectrum and statistics of waiting-time and duration-time of the fluctuation.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：82.8(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)In JT-60U, the filament structure was measured at three poloidal locations, and its time evolution were investigated at the inner (high-field-side) SOL as well as outer (low-field-side) SOL. At the inner SOL, filament structure with 7-8 multi-peaks was, for the first time, determined only close to sepatratrix. Delay of the first peak after start of MHD activity was faster than characteristic time of the parallel convection from the outer midplane, and Mach numbers reached ion sonic level. These results show that ELM filaments extend from outer to inner plasma edge, and a part of the filaments are exhausted to the inner SOL. Toroidal mode number (n) and size of the filament (dz) were evaluated from the interval of the multi-peaks and duration of each peak: n 15-25 and dz 2-4 cm at the HFS SOL, and n was smaller than and dz was comparable to those at the LFS SOL. After the multi-peak appearance, flow reversal of SOL plasma was generated over wide region of the inner SOL.

Times Cited Count：41 Percentile：79.61(Physics, Applied)Nanosecond laser ablation of tungsten (W) that was exposed to helium plasmas was investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. Sub-micrometor holes/bubbles are formed on the surface of W specimen when it was exposed to the helium plasma at sufficient higher temperature (
1500-1600 K). The onset pulse energy to detect W I becomes 
0.2 J/cm after the W specimen was exposed to high-density helium plasmas, though the emission from a pure virgin W (before helium plasma irradiation) cannot be detected when the pulse energy was lower than 1 J/cm. Laser-induced bursting of the holes/bubbles is suggested to be the physical mechanism leading to the significant reduction in the ablation power threshold.
