A REVIEW OF WORK ON PLASMA-WALL INTERACTIONS AND DIVERTOR EXPERIMENTS ON DITE

Experimental results from DITE are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the study of plasma-wall interactions. The energy and particle fluxes to the walls and limiters, and the return flux of particles into the discharge, have been measured by several methods. The effect of the bundle divertor on these fluxes, and the resulting changes in the plasma parameters are discussed.
