The X-point target radiator is created by adding an additional X-point at the bottom of the TCV vessel. The image on the left shows spectral imaging data of a conventional divertor, with emission extending all the way to the floor. On the right is the X-point target divertor, illustrating the radiative second X-point. Graphic: SPC/ EPFL
