+The term 'divertor' can refer to:
+* the magnetic field structure beyond the X-point and in contact with material surfaces, or
+* the material structure intersecting the 'outgoing legs' of the magnetic separatrix surface.
+The divertor region between the 'outgoing legs' - the region between the material divertor and the X-point, up to the separatrix - is known as the private flux region (PFR).
