abstract = {The low-Z oxygen and carbon were the main plasma impurities
in the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator in the last
experimental campaign with the passively cooled graphite
divertor. To tackle this issue boronization (Winter et al
1989 J. Nucl. Mater. 162–4 712–23) was applied, which
has led to one of the main achievements of the campaign:
plasma operation at high core densities of more than 1020
m−3 in hydrogen fueled plasmas due to the reduced
radiation-induced density limit.In total three boronizations
were applied. After the first boronization the oxygen to
hydrogen flux ratio (normalized influx of oxygen) at the
divertor substantially decreased by a factor of 10 and the
carbon to hydrogen flux ratio (normalized influx of carbon)
decreased by a factor of 4 as obtained from spectroscopy. In
the same time, boron emission appeared in the spectra.
Between the boronizations oxygen and carbon normalized
influxes increased but never reached the pre-boronization
values. With each subsequent boronization O level decreased
even more, reaching the lowest values after the third
boronization which were more than a factor of 100 lower than
before the first boronization.Such a decrease in low-Z
impurity concentration significantly extended the operation
window of W7-X in terms of line-integrated electron density
(from 4ċ1019 m−2 to more than 1ċ1020 m−2) and
diamagnetic energy (from 330 kJ up to 510 kJ). Zeff
decreased from 4.5 down to values close to 1.2 as obtained
from bremsstrahlung measurements. The above mentioned values
are given for the two reference discharges before and after
boronization.},
