A spherical-type tokamak, configured to operate with plasma in negative triangularity, includes a chamber for housing a plasma, and is configured so that, during operation, the plasma defines a profile having both in an upper region and in a lower region of said plasma, radially internal and external plasma separator legs. The chamber includes upper and lower regions for receiving the upper and lower plasma regions. The upper and/or lower regions of the chamber are equipped with at least one divertor. The at least one divertor includes a divertor plate and divertor field coils. The divertor field coils are configured to drive the radially inner and radially outer plasma separator legs towards the respective divertor plate. The at least one divertor includes an inlet which is located in an external support vessel in a radially outermost position with respect to a point of the respective region.
Spherical-type tokamak configured to operate with plasma in negative triangularity, comprising a chamber (100) for housing a plasma, said tokamak being configured so that, during operation, said plasma defines a profile having both in an upper region (UR) as well as in a lower region (LR) of said plasma, a radially internal plasma separator leg (L1) and a radially external plasma separator leg (L2);
Tokamak configured to operate in a negative triangularity configuration, comprising a chamber (100) in which an upper region (100a) and a lower region (100b) are defined which are separated by an equator (EQ), at least one of said two regions (100a, 100b) has at an apex thereof a divertor (300) configured to be used with a plasma maintained in a condition of negative triangularity, each divertor (300) comprising a divertor plate (210, 220) and at least one magnet, (D1a-D6a, D1b-D6b), and being configured to generate a divertor field, and inside said chamber (100) the gas to be ionized and/or a plasma obtained from said gas, called plasma defining during operation:
