Abstract
Abstract A set of experiments are planned to exploit the high SOL collisionality enabled by a tightly baffled slot divertor geometry to suppress tungsten leakage in DIII-D. A toroidal row of graphite tiles from the Small Angle Slot (SAS) divertor is being coated with 10–15 μ m of tungsten. New spectroscopic viewing chords with in-vacuo optics will measure the W gross erosion source from the divertor surface with high spatial and temporal resolution. In parallel, the bottom of the SAS divertor is changed from a flat to a ‘V’ shape. New SOLPS-ITER/DIVIMP simulations conducted with drifts using the planned ‘V’ shape predict a substantial reduction in W sourcing and SOL accumulation in either B × ∇B direction relative to either the old SAS divertor shape or the open, lower divertor. Dedicated studies are planned to carefully characterize the level of W sourcing, leakage, and scrape-off-layer (SOL) accumulation in DIII-D over a wide range of plasma scenarios. Various actuators will be assessed for their efficacy in further reducing high-Z impurity sources and leakage from the slot divertor geometry. This coupled code-experiment validation effort will be used to stress-test physics models and build confidence in extrapolations to advanced, high-Z divertor geometries for next-step devices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
