Divertor Physics

Divertor Physics is the academic field within plasma physics that studies the physical processes governing the interaction of magnetically confined fusion plasmas with material surfaces in the divertor region of magnetic confinement fusion devices, specifically addressing heat, particle, and impurity exhaust mechanisms unique to this boundary configuration.
