An asymmetric plasma particle load on divertor tiles located at positions of symmetric magnetic field lines structure has been investigated in the Large Helical Device (LHD). The asymmetry reverses with reversing the toroidal magnetic field direction. This suggests that drifts affect the asymmetry. It is found that the degree of the asymmetry depends on the electron temperature in the edge plasma and on the toroidal magnetic field strength. The degree of the asymmetry becomes large and then saturates with an increase of electron temperature. In the lower magnetic field discharge, the degree of the asymmetry is larger. The mass dependence of the asymmetry is not clear among hydrogen, deuterium and helium. Results presented suggests thatE×Bdrift plays a role in formation of the asymmetry.
