Scrapeoff layer studies with an instrumented limiter

An instrumented limiter was used as a diagnostic to measure energy deposition and power fluxes in the scrapeoff layer. The limiter consisted of an array of 12 tiles, each equipped with a thermocouple. This arrangement represented a calorimeter array that yielded the total limiter energy and decay length of the power flux in the scrapeoff layer. Energy deposition and decay lengths are discussed for various plasma parameters.
