Spectroscopic investigations of detachment on TCV : investigating the role of atomic physics on the ion current roll-over and the dynamics of detachment in TCV

The process of divertor detachment, whereby heat and particle fluxes to divertor surfaces are strongly reduced, is required to reduce heat loading and erosion in a magnetic fusion reactor. In this thesis the physics leading to the decrease of the divertor ion current It, or 'roll-over', is...
