Study of detachment in future ASDEX Upgrade alternative divertor configurations by means of EMC3-EIRENE
ASDEX Upgrade is preparing a hardware modification of its upper divertor in order to study alternative divertor configurations, like the X-divertor (XD) and the snowflake divertor (SF), that are discussed as a possible solution for the power exhaust problem.Experiments characterizing the current upper divertor in single-null (SN) configuration befo
