The Solid/Liquid Divertor Experiment (SLiDE) chamber is used to expose divertor concepts to fusion relevant heat fluxes to test their viability.
•Solid/Liquid Divertor Experiment (SLiDE) chamber to test divertor concepts under representative heat fluxes.
•SLiDE generates a E-beam or a ECR plasma.
•Focuses on liquid metal divertor concepts.
•Loop allows liquid metal flow for extended periods without substantial contamination build-up.
•Lithium engineering and de-risking is additional goal for Li loop construction and operation.
•Modular Li loop allows components to be added or removed as needed for testing, cleaning or any planned upgrades/modifications.
