Title: The stellarator island divertor and results from its application in Wendelstein 7-X
Abstract: The talk will introduce the geometry and relevant physics concepts required to understand the setup and function of the stellarator island divertor concept. The implementation of such an island divertor in the stellarator Wendelstein 7-X is discussed with summary of the relevant observations that were made in last years along with some relevant insights from matches and discrepancies of island divertor modeling.
Bio: Mr. Reimold has studied at University Heidelberg (Germany), Technical University of Munich (Germany) and the University of Rouen (France). He has attained a PhD degree in plasma physics from the Technical University Munich in collaboration the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. As a scientists he has spent time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. He is currently a group leader at Wendelstein 7-X for the topic of impurity transport and exhaust. His current research focus is on boundary physics and core impurity transport with diagnostic developments, experiments and modeling.
