Quantitative 3D non-linear simulations of shattered pellet injection in ASDEX Upgrade using JOREK
W. Tang, M. Hoelzl, P. Heinrich +16
Shattered pellet injection (SPI) as primary mitigation method for major disruptions in ITER has a large parameter space available for optimization including the total amount of inj…
Variability of MHD Instabilities in Benign Termination of High-Current Runaway Electron Beams in the JET and DIII-D Tokamaks
C. F. B. Zimmermann, C. Paz-Soldan, G. Su +14
Benign termination, in which magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities deconfine runaway electrons (REs) following hydrogenic injections, is a promising strategy for mitigating dange…
Expulsion of runaway electrons using ECRH in the TCV tokamak
J. Decker, M. Hoppe, U. Sheikh +19
Runaway electrons (REs) are a concern for tokamak fusion reactors from discharge startup to termination. A sudden localized loss of a multi-megaampere RE beam can inflict severe da…
Evolution of SPI-induced disruptions in ASDEX Upgrade
P. Heinrich, G. Papp, S. Jachmich +23
Disruptions are a major concern for future fusion reactors based on the tokamak principle. To ensure machine protection, the thermal loads and vessel forces that arise during disru…
Runaway electron-induced plasma facing component damage in tokamaks
S. Ratynskaia, M. Hoelzl, E. Nardon +31
This Roadmap article addresses the critical and multifaceted challenge of plasma-facing component (PFC) damage caused by runaway electrons (REs) in tokamaks, a phenomenon that pose…
