Radiation reaction induced non-monotonic features in runaway electron distributions

E. Hirvijoki, I. Pusztai, J. Decker +3

Runaway electrons, which are generated in a plasma where the induced electric field exceeds a certain critical value, can reach very high energies in the MeV range. For such energe…

Effective Critical Electric Field for Runaway-Electron Generation

Adam Stahl, Eero Hirvijoki, Joan Decker +2

In this Letter we investigate factors that influence the effective critical electric field for runaway-electron generation in plasmas. We present numerical solutions of the kinetic…

Guiding-center transformation of the radiation-reaction force in a nonuniform magnetic field

Eero Hirvijoki, Joan Decker, Alain Brizard +1

In this paper, we present the guiding-center transformation of the radiation-reaction force of a classical point charge traveling in a nonuniform magnetic field. The transformation…

Orbit-averaged Guiding-center Fokker-Planck Operator

A. J. Brizard, J. Decker, Y. Peysson +1

A general orbit-averaged guiding-center Fokker-Planck operator suitable for the numerical analysis of transport processes in axisymmetric magnetized plasmas is presented. The orbit…
