The role of SOL plasma in the confinement of NBI fast ions in W7-X
The impact of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma on deposition, confinement and losses of neutral beam injected fast ions was investigated in W7-X plasma. The effect of SOL width, density, temperature profiles, radial electric field, and charge–exchange reactions (CX) was…
