Plasma-surface interaction in the Be/W environment: Conclusions drawn from the JET-ILW for ITER
TL;DR: The JET ITER-Like Wall experiment (JET-ILW) provides an ideal test bed to investigate plasma-surface interaction (PSI) and plasma operation with the ITER plasma-facing material selection employing beryllium in the main chamber and tungsten in the divertor.

Physics of ultimate detachment of a tokamak divertor plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic physics of the processes playing the most important role in divertor plasma detachment is reviewed, and the models used in the two-dimensional edge plasma transport codes that are widely used to address different issues of the edge plasma physics and to simulate the experimental data, as well as the numerical schemes and convergence issues, are described.
