Wiesen and JET Contributors}, title = {Impact of bivariate energy and angular atomic impact spectra on tungsten erosion in JET}, abstract = {The erosion of tungsten plasma-facing components due to charge-exchange atoms, predicted to be the dominant cause of the observed W radiation in most JET plasmas with a Be/W wall, is quantified by the first EIRENE simulations of the bivariate energy-angular impact spectrum and the incident flux of deuterium and tritium atoms. The tungsten erosion rate due to the bivariate impact spectrum in the JET outer vertical divertor corresponds to a constant effective impact angle of 43 degrees. Assuming independent univariate energy and angular distributions instead of the bivariate spectrum causes a predicted increase of order 10% in the tungsten influx and the core radiated power. The predicted tungsten sputtering rate due to tritium atoms is 2 to 6 times the sputtering rate by deuterium atoms in similar edge plasmas. A hypothetical replacement of all JET first-wall materials with tungsten is predicted to raise the total radiated power by 60% in a diverted H-mode scenario if the added radiation is offset by additional heating and the plasma conditions are unchanged.}, year = {2025}, journal = {Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion}, volume = {67}, pages = {055044}, doi = {10.1088/1361-6587/add376}, }
