A multicontact probe placed near the wall has been used to study the distribution of the divertor fluxes over the minor azimuth in stellarator and torsatron regimes of the Saturn machine. It has been found that the plasma flux towards the outer part of the torus is much higher than the flux measured along the direction to the inner part. The plasma fluxes are localized in the vicinity of the apexes of the magnetic surfaces and their azimuthal width near the wall does not exceed 1/18th of the vacuum chamber circumference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
