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…

Self-consistent modelling and qualitative comparison of mildly relativistic runaway electron dynamics with a closed flux surface formation model during tokamak startup

Y. Lee, H. -T. Kim, P. C. de Vries +14

A model for mildly relativistic Runaway Electrons (REs) is developed in a reduced-kinetic form and qualitatively compared with radiation characteristics observed in KSTAR ohmic sta…

Quantum Kinetics of Fast-Electron Inelastic Collisions in Partially-Ionized Plasmas

Yeongsun Lee, Pavel Aleynikov, Jong-Kyu Park

Fast electrons in partially ionized plasmas lose energy through inelastic collisions with bound electrons. While the mean energy loss is well described by stopping-power theory, fl…

Collision operator for electron runaway in cold weakly-ionized plasmas

Yeongsun Lee, Pavel Aleynikov, Peter de Vries +2

In cold weakly-ionized plasmas, Dreicer generation mechanism can be non-diffusive as demonstrated in [Y. Lee et. al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 133 17 175102 (2024)]. By expanding the previo…

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…
