Using high speed imaging of the divertor volume, the region close to the X-point in MAST is shown to be quiescent. This is confirmed by three different analysis techniques and the quiescent X-point region (QXR) spans from the separatrix to the flux surface. Local reductions to the atomic density and effects associated with the camera viewing geometry are ruled out as causes of the QXR, leaving quiescence in the local plasma conditions as being the most likely cause. The QXR is found to be ubiquitous across a significant operational space in MAST including L-mode and H-mode discharges across maximal ranges of in line integrated density, MA in plasma current, T in toroidal magnetic field and MW in NBI power. When mapped to the divertor target the QXR occupies approximately an e-folding length of the heat-flux profile, containing  ∼60% of the total heat flux to the target, and also shows a tendency towards higher frequency shorter lived fluctuations in the ion-saturation current. This is consistent with short-lived divertor localised filamentary structures observed further down the outer divertor leg in the camera images, and suggests a complex multi-region picture of filamentary transport in the divertor.

MASTにおけるダイバータ体積の高速撮像を用いて、X点近傍領域が静穏であることが示された。これは3つの異なる解析手法によって確認され、静穏X点領域(QXR)はセパラトリクスからフラックス面まで広がっている。原子密度の局所的な減少やカメラ視野幾何学に関連する効果はQXRの原因として除外され、局所的なプラズマ条件の静穏性が最も可能性の高い原因として残る。QXRはMASTにおける広範な運転領域にわたって普遍的に存在することが見出され、これは線積分密度でMA、プラズマ電流でMA、トロイダル磁場でT、NBI出力でMWの最大範囲に及ぶLモードおよびHモード放電を含む。ダイバータターゲットにマッピングすると、QXRは熱流束プロファイルのe-folding長さの約を占め、ターゲットへの総熱流束の約60%を含む。また、イオン飽和電流の変動において、より高周波で短寿命の傾向を示す。これは、カメラ画像において外側ダイバータ脚のさらに下流で観測される短寿命のダイバータ局在フィラメント構造と一致し、ダイバータにおけるフィラメント輸送の複雑な多領域像を示唆している。
