中文摘要：

Introducing strong radiative impurities into divertor plasmas has been considered as an important way to mitigate the peak heat load at the divertor target plate for ITER, and will be employed in EAST for high power long pulse operations. To this end, radiative divertor experiments were explored under both low (L) and high (H)-mode confinement regimes, for the first time in EAST, with the injection of argon and its mixture (25% Ar in D 2 ). The Ar injection greatly reduced particle and heat fluxes to the divertor in L-mode discharges, achieving nearly complete detached divertor plasma regimes for both single null (SN) and double null (DN) configurations, without increasing the core impurity content. In particular, the peak heat flux was reduced by a factor of ～6, significantly reducing the intrinsic in-out divertor asymmetry for DN, as seen by both the new infra-red camera and the Langmuir probes at the divertor target. Promising results have also been obtained in the H-modes with argon seeding, demonstrating a significant increase in the frequency and decrease in the amplitude of the edge localized modes (ELMs), thus reducing both particle and heat loads caused by the ELMs. This will be further explored in the next experimental campaign with increasing heating power for long pulse operations.

To this end, radiative divertor high （H） - mode confinement regimes, for and its mixture （25% Ar in D2）. The Ar injection greatly reduced particle and heat fluxes to the divertor in L-mode discharges, achieving nearly complete detached divertor plasma regimes for both single null （SN） and double null （DN） configurations, without increasing the core impurity content. In particular, the peak heat flux was reduced by a factor of ~6~ significantly reducing the intrinsic in-out divertor asymmetry for DN, as seen by both the new infra-red camera and the Langmuir probes at the divertor target. Promising results have also been obtained in the H-modes with argon seeding, demonstrating a significant increase in the frequency and decrease in the amplitude of the edge localized modes （ELMs）, thus reducing both particle and heat loads caused by the ELMs. This will be further explored in the next experimental campaign with increasing heating power for long pulse operations.
