Abstract: Tungsten (W) is the prime candidate for the plasma facing material in present and future fusion devices. When exposed to a plasma containing He ions, W can exhibit creation of sub-surface nano-bubbles leading to formation of nano-tendrils called fuzz. Formation of W fuzz was confirmed by many laboratory experiments including He loading in linear plasma devices. There is, however, limited experience related to the parameter space for fuzz formation and re-erosion in a tokamak environment. For this reason, a dedicated experiment was carried out in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) during its 2022 He campaign to study the evolution of fuzz-like W structures.
