Comparison of tungsten nano-tendrils grown in Alcator C-Mod and linear plasma devices

Growth of tungsten nano-tendrils ("fuzz") has been observed for the first time in the divertor region of a high-power density tokamak experiment. After 14 consecutive helium L-mode discharges in Alcator C-Mod, the tip of a tungsten Langmuir probe at the outer strike point was fully covered...
