The Divertor Erosion and Vapor Shielding Experiment (DEVEX) has been constructed in the Center for Plasma-Material Interactions at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It''s a 300 kA, 30 kV conical theta-pinch experiment designed to produced plasmas similar to disruptions found in tokamaks in the laboratory. Here, we present experimental verification of substantially reduced target surface temperature with the use of thin lithium fi...
