A new small angle slot (SAS) divertor concept has been developed to enhance neutral cooling across the target by coupling a closed structure with appropriate shaping. Initial tests on DIII-D find strong interplay between such anticipated 'SAS' effects and cross-field drifts, favouring operation ion B × ∇B drift away from X-point, as currently employed for advanced tokamaks. This offers following key improvements relative DIII-D's open lower or partially-closed upper divertor: (i) SAS allows...
