A divertor configuration is a magnetic field configuration in which the toroidally confined (plasma) region is separated from the outside world by a separatrix - as opposed to a limiter configuration in which the plasma's Last Closed Magnetic Surface is determined by the intersection of field lines by a material object.
The divertor is the material structure intersecting the 'outgoing legs' of the magnetic separatrix surface.
