Abstract
The present disclosure may provide methods and systems for exhausting particles from a plasma field using, at least in part, the backside surface of a divertor.
Claims18
A method of removing one or more particles from a plasma comprising:
- directing a scrape-off layer of said plasma to a backside surface of an island divertor, wherein said backside surface is disposed on a side of said divertor opposite a center of said plasma;
- injecting from a wall onto the backside surface of the island divertor a ballast gas, where the ballast gas is at a temperature lower than an exhaust temperature of the plasma;
- and
- using said divertor, diverting an amount of said one or more particles from said scrape-off layer to one or more pump channels.
