A Possible Explanation for Doubly Peaked Profiles at the Divertor Target in JET
Doubly peaked target density profiles have been obtained in the EDGE2D modelling of JET plasmas with drifts included. Their appearance is related to the divergence of the radial E×B drift particle flow along the surface of the target. The modelling results may provide a possible physical mechanism for doubly peaked target profiles observed earlier in some JET experiments.
