Mechanism Behind the Recombination Requirement for Benign Termination of Relativistic Electron Beams
George Su, Carl Friedrich Benedikt Zimmermann, Carlos Paz-Soldan +2
We present a first-principles explanation of the recombination requirement for benign termination of relativistic electron (RE) beams in tokamaks. Kinetic modeling including neutra…

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…
