Germanyhoo1021@kaist.ac.kr; wchoe@kaist.ac.krSince H-mode
has beenregarded as a promising operating scenario for
future tokamaks, it is important to get a good understanding
of divertor detachment in H-mode plasmas.So far the
extensive detachment studies in KSTAR focused on L-mode
plasmas [1]. Therefore, H-mode detachmentstudies with pure
deuterium fuelled discharges with no impurity gas seedingcan
bethe baseline starting point for further complex studies of
detachment under impurity injections or
ELMcontrolled/suppressed 3D field configurations in KSTAR.
In this study, the first signs of H-mode divertor
detachmentby deuterium gas injectionin KSTARwere obtained in
electron density ramp discharges.The discharges in this
study had Ip=0.7 MA and Bt= 1.8 T with ∇B-drift directed
downward into the lower divertor. The total NBI heating
power was 2.9-3.1 MW. In the experiment, the outer target
showed a partially detached regime and the inter-ELM peak
particle flux was reduced significantly by a factor of 5 to
below 2.0x1022m-2s-1. At the inner target, particle flux
roll-over occurred although there was not significant
reduction of the inter-ELM peak particle flux.The
line-integrated density rose up to about
6.0x1019m-3(fGW≈0.8) and further density increase for
accessing pronounced detachment was failed by arriving at
the H-mode density limit [2]. Theanomalous in/out detachment
asymmetry in which the outer target detaches at the lower
core density than the inner target has been observedin KSTAR
L-mode plasmas [1]and it wasshown that the asymmetry was
reproduced in KSTAR H-mode plasmas.This work will act as
reference for more complex H-mode detachment studies to be
pursued on KSTARand contribute to better understanding of
physics behind divertor detachment.Experimental resultscould
give several important constraints to theSOLPS-ITERmodelling
so that the benchmarking and predictive research regarding
KSTAR boundary plasmas will be possible.[1] J.-S. Park, et
