Effect of Perpendicular Transport on Edge Plasma Energy Loss due to Impurity Radiation

We consider the effect of perpendicular energy transport in the low temperature divertor region on impurity radiation loss from the SOL plasma. We show that the perpendicular energy transport results in enlargement of the volume with relatively low temperature and a very high density of the plasma. High plasma density causes a strong energy loss due to impurity radiation peak in this low temperature region. For low Z impurity the energy transport due to plasma convection and neutrals also can strongly influence the volume of low temperature region.
