Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract A diagnostic method for material transport (erosion and deposition) in the KTM tokamak vessel has been developed and tested for durations comparable to an experimental campaign. It is based on witness samples mounted in the tiles of the first wall of the tokamak vacuum vessel. It was found that the regions of greatest wall erosion are located near the equatorial plane and on the inner side of the upper dome. Deposition zones were identified on the outer periphery on the lower side of the chamber. Possible effects of conditioning and operational discharges on wall sputtering were considered.
