SUMMARY:Towards steady-state fusion reactor with Wendelstein 7-X\, Pla
 sma Physics (Physics/ECE/NE 922) Seminar\, Marcin Jakubowski\, IPP Gre
 ifswald
DESCRIPTION:Wendelstein 7-X\, large superconducting stellarator\, went
  into operation in 2015. With a 30 cubic meter volume\, a superconduct
 ing coil system and steady state heating capabilities of up to 10 MW\,
  it is built to demonstrate the benefits of optimized stellarators app
 roaching those of a fusion power plant. One of the main aims of W7-X i
 s to show that stellarators can operate with reactor relevant\, steady
  state power and particles exhaust concept. Most recently\, it operate
 d with inertially cooled divertor and achieved very encouraging result
 s. The heat deposition follows the strike line patterns expected from 
 edge modelling with broad deposition profiles. Moreover\, thanks to bo
 ronization\, high plasma densities were achieved. This lead to remarka
 ble results of complete divertor detachment across all 10 divertors. W
 e see a reduction of peak power being reduced by a factor of 5 or larg
 er and significantly enhanced neutral compression in the divertor volu
 me. At the same time no degradation of core confinement was seen.
