Outline of Final Research Achievements

Electric biasing of toroidally segmented divertor plates with adjusted phasing was applied to a small tokamak for active control of plasma in the scrape-off-layer(SOL) surrounding a confined core-plasma. Fourier decomposition of the observed SOL currents driven by the biasing indicates generation of resonant magnetic perturbations with specified toroidal mode number. Positive biasing is most effective for generation of RMPs because high SOL currents and the long length of the current paths are realized. This biasing also showed the radial expansion of particle flux to the divertor, reducing the local peak value. In conclusion, this new biasing method has high potentiality for effective control of divertor heat load.
