Kinetic modelling of runaway electron generation in argon-induced disruptions in ASDEX Upgrade

K. Insulander Björk, G. Papp, O. Embreus +8

Massive material injection has been proposed as a way to mitigate the formation of a beam of relativistic runaway electrons that may result from a disruption in tokamak plasmas. In…

Runaway dynamics in the DT phase of ITER operations in the presence of massive material injection

O. Vallhagen, O Embreus, I Pusztai +2

A runaway avalanche can result in a conversion of the initial plasma current into a relativistic electron beam in high current tokamak disruptions. We investigate the effect of mas…

Evaluation of the Dreicer runaway generation rate in the presence of high-Z impurities using a neural network

L Hesslow, L Unnerfelt, O Vallhagen +4

Integrated modelling of electron runaway requires computationally expensive kinetic models that are self-consistently coupled to the evolution of the background plasma parameters.…

Influence of massive material injection on avalanche runaway generation during tokamak disruptions

L Hesslow, O Embréus, O Vallhagen +1

In high-current tokamak devices such as ITER, a runaway avalanche can cause a large amplification of a seed electron population. We show that disruption mitigation by impurity inje…
