Abstract

Injection of impurity pellets has been shown to be a successful method of reducing thermal and mechanical loads during disruptions. The evolution of the quenching plasma after pellet injection in ASDEX Upgrade is described and the requirements of such a method for mitigating disruptions in future devices are discussed
