In magnetic confinement fusion, a divertor is a device which extracts heat and ash from fusion plasmas by averting direct contact between the confined plasma and the main chamber wall (plasma-wall interactions). A magnetic divertor typically involves creating a separatrix-bounded magnetic topology using special magnetic coils. Particles and heat diffusing outward from the main plasma are diverted and follow the 'open' magnetic field lines to strike dedicated plasma-facing components. The magnetic divertor concept was first proposed by Lyman Spitzer in the 1951 aiming to reduce the impurity levels in stellarators due to sputtering from main chamber walls.[1][2] It is now recognized as an essential component for heat and particle exhaust in fusion plasmas, with majority of modern day fusion devices capable of establishing a diverted configuration. In tokamaks, high confinement mode plasmas are more readily achieved in diverted configurations. Divertor physics and optimizing its design as
