The roles of the molecularly assisted ionization (MAI), recombination (MAR) and dissociation (MAD) reaction chains with respect to the purely atomic ionization and recombination processes were studied experimentally during detachment in low-confinement mode (L-mode) plasmas in JET with the help of experimentally inferred divertor plasma and neutral conditions, extracted previously from filtered camera observations of deuterium Balmer emission, and the reaction coefficients provided by the ADAS, AMJUEL and H2VIBR atomic and molecular databases. The direct contribution of MAI and MAR in the outer divertor particle balance was found to be inferior to the electron–atom ionization (EAI) and electron–ion recombination (EIR). Near the outer strike point, a strong atom source due to the D2+-driven MAD was, however, observed to correlate with the onset of detachment at outer strike point temperatures of Te,osp=0.9–2.0 eV via increased plasma-neutral interactions before the increasing dominance of EIR at Te,osp< 0.9 eV, followed by increasing degree of detachment. The analysis was supported by predictions from EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations which were in qualitative agreement with the experimental observations. |
