The Plasma Boundary in Low-Parameter Divertor Discharges on the HL-2A Tokamak

Because the last closed flux-surface （LCFS） finally determines the shape of plasma cross-section, and the shaping of plasma is a key issue directly related with lots of the hot subjects of an advanced tokamak（AT） and of a reactor, e. g., the control on the current density, equilibrium, scrapeoff layer（SOL）, aspects of edge particle and energy, high plasma kinetic energy, and of course, the MHD instability suppression, the further studies on the LCFS related subjects, e. g., its determination, flux loss, etc., are still tokamak research. It equilibrium, poloidal needed for present is also important to get precise LCFS-related equilibrium or configuration properties for the controls on an AT and for the understandings on the underlying basic physical issues in a discharge.
