In this paper, the array of Langmuir probes at the COMPASS-D divertor and the analysis and interpretation of the probe data are described. The divertor probe system consists of 39 graphite single Langmuir probes embedded in the divertor target. The probe array is being used to investigate the proper

✦ Synopsis
In this paper, results from the array of fixed Langmuir probes in the JET Mark 1 divertor are presented.
During low density discharges there is good agreement between single and triple probes. At higher density, near the onset of divertor detachment, very low values of the electron to ion saturation current (even < 1) are observed which results in an overestimation of the electron temperature, particularly by the triple probe. Alternative methods of probe interpretation are applied and comparisons carried out with independent measurements. The consistency of probe measurements during H-mode discharges are also briefly discussed.

## Abstract In order to investigate details of anomaly in the Langmuir probe current (I)‐voltage (V) characteristics, electron temperatures and densities are measured by both Langmuir probe and laser Thomson scattering methods. The electron densities measured with both methods show good agreement i
