Assessment of particle and heat loads to the upper open divertor in ASDEX Upgrade in favourable and unfavourable toroidal magnetic field directions

Pairs of ASDEX Upgrade L-mode discharges with the toroidal magnetic field, BT, in the forward and reverse directions have been used to study the impact of neoclassical drifts on the divertor plasma conditions and detachment. The evolution of the peak heat flux and the total power loads onto both the...
