Hydrocarbon injection experiments with in situ calibration of spectroscopic signals have been carried out to determine the hydrocarbon flux and the chemical erosion yield under detached plasma conditions in ASDEX Upgrade. A plasma scenario was developed to detach the outer divertor in L-mode and to provide a cold (Te≃1–2 eV) and volume recombining deuterium target plasma. A significant decrease of carbon-related intrinsic photon fluxes, in particular of the CH Gerö and of the C2 Swan band was observed in detachment. Moderate methane/ethene injections were performed through a single gas valve and an increase of carbon-related intrinsic photon fluxes was detected, which can be attributed to the amount of injected molecules. The experimentally determined effective inverse photon efficiencies are slightly larger than the ones deduced in attached plasmas. Nevertheless, the low intrinsic CH and C2 light observed under detached conditions can still be attributed to a reduction of the hydrocarbon flux of about one order of magnitude. The impact of detachment on the chemical erosion is discussed.
