Reduced modeling of scrape-off losses of runaway electrons during tokamak disruptions
Oskar Vallhagen, Lise Hanebring, Tünde Fülöp +2
Accurate modeling of runaway electron generation and losses during tokamak disruptions is crucial for the development of reactor-scale tokamak devices. In this paper we present a r…
