Resonant Pitch-Angle Scattering Of Runaway-Electrons by Externally-launched Helicon Waves in the DIII-D Tokamak
Hari Choudhury, Jeffrey Lestz, Carlos Paz-Soldan +12
Resonant wave-particle interactions between externally launched helicon waves (also known as whistler waves) and runaway electrons (REs) have been demonstrated on the DIII-D tokama…

Self-mediation of runaway electrons via self-excited wave-wave and wave-particle interactions
Qile Zhang, Yanzeng Zhang, Qi Tang +1
Nonlinear dynamics of runaway electron induced wave instabilities can significantly modify the runaway distribution critical to tokamak operations. Here we present the first-ever f…

Excitation of whistler and slow-X waves by runaway electrons in a collisional plasma
Qile Zhang, Yanzeng Zhang, Xian-Zhu Tang
Runaway electrons are known to provide robust ideal or collisionless kinetic drive for plasma wave instabilities in both the whistler and slow-X branches, via the anomalous Doppler…
