Abstract
The heat load deposited in the toroidal gaps between two tungsten monoblocks remains an open problem to prepare safe and powerful experiments in ITER. An experiment has been carried out on the WEST tokamak aiming to study the power deposition on the toroidal surfaces with various monoblock and heat loading configurations. The very high spatial resolution (0.1 mm/px) infrared camera of WEST has been used to monitor the temperature distribution on the blocks. Few actively cooled ITER-like plasma facing units have been misaligned in the vertical and poloidal direction to maximize the heat loading and temperature on specific block areas. This paper shows the experimental results obtained during high power plasma experiment (4.5 MW injected power) performed with the outer strike line located precisely in the toroidal gap. The experimental IR images exhibit complex pattern with strong signal into the gap (greater than measured on the top surface) and shifted hot spot on the poloidal chamfer of the downstream component featuring poloidal misalignment (where optical hot spot are expected). Thermal and photonic modelling have been used to mimic the infrared thermal scene an try to provide a better understanding of the heat loading on the toroidal edge and on the optical hot spots. The importance of specular reflection is highlighted in the two cases because the reflective facets of the block facing each other.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
