Runaway electron modelling in the self-consistent core European Transport Simulator, ETS
Gergo I. Pokol, Soma Olasz, Boglarka Erdos +12
Relativistic runaway electrons are a major concern in tokamaks. The European framework for Integrated Modelling (EU-IM), facilitates the integration of different plasma simulation…
Trapped-Electron Runaway Effect
E. Nilsson, J. Decker, N. J. Fisch +1
In a tokamak, trapped electrons subject to a strong electric field cannot run away immediately, because their parallel velocity does not increase over a bounce period. However, the…
Kinetic modelling of runaway electron avalanches in tokamak plasmas
E. Nilsson, J. Decker, Y. Peysson +3
Runaway electrons (REs) can be generated in tokamak plasmas if the accelerating force from the toroidal electric field exceeds the collisional drag force due to Coulomb collisions…
Lower Hybrid antennas for nuclear fusion experiments
Julien Hillairet, J. Achard, Young-Soon Bae +40
The nuclear fusion research goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion power for peaceful purposes. In order to achieve the conditions similar to those expected in an electri…
Recent progress on lower hybrid current drive and implications for ITER
Julien Hillairet, A. Ekedahl, M. Goniche +23
The sustainment of steady-state plasmas in tokamaks requires efficient current drive systems. Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) is currently the most efficient method to generate a…
Bump formation in the runaway electron tail
J. Decker, E. Hirvijoki, O. Embreus +4
Runaway electrons are generated in a magnetized plasma when the parallel electric field exceeds a critical value. For such electrons with energies typically reaching tens of MeV, t…
