A high density regime with an internal diffusion barrier (IDB) has been extended to the helical divertor (HD) configuration in the Large Helical Device (LHD). Avoidance of the local enhancement of neutral pressure is necessary to enable IDB formation, which is consistent with earlier works by using the Local Island Divertor (LID) with efficient active pumping. The central pressure reached 1.3 times atmospheric pressure, where ne(0) = 6 × 1020 m−3 and Te(0) = 660 eV. The plasmas with an IDB are located in the plateau collisionality regime. The significant impurity effect has not been observed throughout the discharges in spite of the existence of a negative radial electric field. A central pressure limiting event is observed in the plasmas with an IDB using the HD. During this event which is referred to as the core density collapse (CDC), particles are flushed out from the core on the time scale of a few hundreds of microseconds. The suppression of the Shafranov shift by vertical elongation (κ) is effective to mitigate CDC. At κ = 1.2, the central β value is increased up to 6.6% at 1 T.
