Popis: Systematic investigations of the scrape-off layer (SOL) in the midplane of ASDEX have been carried out in He, D2 and H2 for diverted ohmic discharges over a wide range of plasma conditions: ne ∼ 0.5−4.7 × 1013 cm−3, Ip = 200–450 kA, BT = 16–23 kG, qa∼ 2.4–4.4 and POH = 200–480 kW. For the first two cm outside the separatix, ne is found to decay exponentially with an e-folding length λn given by λn = kqα (He, k = 1.32 cm, α = 0.52; D2, k =1.29 cm, α = 0.35; H2, k = 1.18 cm, α = 0.4) when from which follows for qa = 3: λn(D2) ∼ λn(H2) ∼ 0.8 λn(He). The qα scaling is roughly predicted by the simple formula λn = D⊥ Lυ∥ under the assumption D⊥ ∝ mi−0.5 (as has been observed on ASDEX for H2 and D2). There appears to be no explicit λn dependence on heating power. λn varies strongly with ne in the range ne ≤ 1 × 1013 cm−3, decreasing for example (D2,H2; qa = 3.0), from λn ≥ 3 cm at ne ∼ 0.5 × 1013 cm−3 to λn ∼ 1.9 cm for ne ≥ 1.5 × 1013 cm−3, ne at the separatrix is primarily a function of ne.
