摘要: In the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak, complex power deposition structures on divertor target plates during type-I edge-localized modes (ELMs) have been discovered by fast (few microseconds), two-dimensional ($40\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}40\text{ }{\mathrm{c}\mathrm{m}}^{2}$) infrared thermography. addition to usual axisymmetric line near separatrix, there appear, statistically distributed, several laterally displaced and inclined stripes, mostly well separated from each other main strike zone. These are interpreted as footprints of approximately field aligned, helical perturbations at low side plasma edge related nonlinear ELM evolution. Based this picture, mode structure can be derived load pattern, yielding average toroidal numbers in a range 8\char21{}24.
