Abstract

Foil bolometers and an IRVB are used to measure radiation asymmetries in MAST-U. We find in the core radiation is strongest nearer to fuelling locations, while the lower divertor radiates more strongly than the upper. The up/down core asymmetry is not captured by interpretive modelling, though the in/out asymmetry is. IRVB measurements indicate differences in detachment onset between the inner and outer divertor legs.
