Abstract
A global particle balance analysis has been applied to a variety of L-mode and H-mode deuterium discharges of the C4 campaign of JET, performed at a lower wall temperature, in different magnetic configurations and with various divertor gas puffing location. Wall retention and divertor particle exhaust are discussed as a function of the plasma configuration, the wall temperature and the gas puffing location. The effect on ELMs frequency is also mentioned. A simple empirical law linking the divertor pressure and the Da signal integrated on the divertor is derived, which allows one to estimate the inner and outer contribution to pumping.

Numerical modelling of high density JET divertor plasma with the SOLPS4.2 (B2-EIRENE) code

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of calculations made for a series of high density shots at JET employing exactly the same physics model as that used for the ITER application were performed and relatively good agreement (within a factor 2) has been found for the outer divertor (with the exception of the temperature profile).

Effects of divertor geometry on tokamak plasmas

TL;DR: The design, construction and operation of advanced divertors have been the main topics of tokamak research during the last decade as discussed by the authors, and the design of these divertors has been optimized to provide: a large operating density range for partially detached plasmas with large radiative losses; satisfactory particle control by efficient deuterium pumping; and He exhaust capability sufficient to remove fusion ashes when extrapolated to next step devices.

Tritium recycling and retention in JET

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of hydrogenic isotope recycling and retention in a pumped divertor configuration relevant to ITER is presented, which suggests that ITER may reach its tritium inventory limit in less than 100 pulses.

Plasma wall interaction during long pulse operation in Tore Supra

TL;DR: In this paper, an increase of plasma density observed during long pulse operation was reported. This behavior correlated with oxygen and hydrogen plasma density increase is attributed to water desorption induced by wall heating due to the high radiated energy of the plasma.
