Fig. 4. The global energy confinement quality under different detached conditions.

Fig. 4

The H98 versus degree of detachment (a), pedestal pressure (b), and pedestal βN,ped (c) across several plasma scenarios. The scenarios compared are open divertor standard H-mode (red), closed divertor standard H-mode (green), super H-like (blue), and high-βp (purple) plasmas. The power and plasma current are also labeled. βN,ped = βped/(Ip/aBT) takes different plasma current and BT into account for a better comparison of the pedestal pressure. The plasma shapes for open and closed geometries can be found in refs. 43,45. The purple-diamond data in high-βp are taken from Fig. 1 and purple-square data are from a similar discharge.
