Abstract The integration of good core and edge/pedestal confinement with strong dissipation of heat and particles in the divertors is a significant challenge for the development of fusion energy. Alternative divertor configurations offer potential advantages by broadening the operational space where a device can operate with detached divertors and acceptable power exhaust. First results from MAST Upgrade are presented from high confinement mode experiments with outer divertors in the Super-X divertor configuration, showing that the outer divertors naturally detach when the Super-X is formed with no discernible impact on the plasma core and pedestal. These initial findings confirm predicted benefits of the Super-X configuration in terms of facilitating scenario integration.
