Runaway electrons during a coil quench in stellarators

Pavel Aleynikov, Per Helander, Håkan M Smith

It is shown that avalanches of runaway electrons can arise in stellarators, even if there is no net toroidal current in the plasma or the magnetic-field coils, if the current in th…

Parallel expansion of a fuel pellet plasmoid

A. M. Arnold, P. Aleynikov, B. N. Breizman

The problem of the expansion and assimilation of a cryogenic fuel pellet injected into a hot plasma is considered. Due to the transparency of the plasmoid to ambient particles, it…

Inelastic collisions facilitating runaway electron generation in weakly-ionized plasmas

Y. Lee, P. Aleynikov, P. C. de Vries +7

Dreicer generation is one of the main mechanisms of runaway electrons generation, in particular during tokamak startup. In fully ionized plasma it is described as a diffusive flow…

Runaway Electron Seed Formation at Reactor-Relevant Temperature

C. Paz-Soldan, P. Aleynikov, E. M. Hollmann +5

Systematic variation of the pre-disruption core electron temperature (Te) from 1 to 12 keV using an internal transport barrier scenario reveals a dramatic increase in the productio…

Global scaling of the heat transport in fusion plasmas

Sara Moradi, Johan Anderson, Michele Romanelli +2

A global heat flux model based on a fractional derivative of plasma pressure is proposed for the heat transport in fusion plasmas. The degree of the fractional derivative of the he…
