| dc.description.abstract | This paper shows experimental results from the TCV tokamak that indicate plasma-molecule interactions involving D2+ <i and possibly D- play an important role as sinks of energy (through hydrogenic radiation as well as dissociation) and particles (ions) during divertor detachment if low target temperatures (<3 eV) are achieved. Both molecular activated recombination (MAR) and ion source reduction due to a power limitation effect are shown to be important in reducing the ion target flux during a density ramp. In contrast, the electron-ion recombination (EIR) ion sink is too small to play an important role in reducing the ion target flux. MAR or EIR do not occur during N-2 seeding induced detachment as the target temperatures are not sufficiently low. The impact of D-2(+) <i is shown to be underestimated in present (vibrationally unresolved) SOLPS-ITER simulations, which could result from an underestimated D-2 + D+-> D-2(+) + D rate. The converged SOLPS-ITER simulations are post-processed with alternative reaction rates, resulting in considerable contributions of D-2(+) to particle and power losses as well as dissociation below the D-2 dissociation area. Those findings are in quantitative agreement with the experimental results. | |
