Thermal modeling of runaway electron induced damage in the SPARC tokamak
T. Rizzi, K. Paschalidis, S. Ratynskaia +6
The integrity of plasma-facing components (PFCs) in tokamaks is critically challenged by transient events such as runaway electron (RE) impacts. We report the first systematic anal…

Simulation of Shattered Pellet Injections with Plasmoid Drifts in ASDEX Upgrade and ITER
O. Vallhagen, L. Antonsson, P. Halldestam +7
Pellet injection is an important means to fuel and control discharges and mitigate disruptions in reactor-scale fusion devices. To accurately assess the efficiency of these applica…

An upper pressure limit for low-Z benign termination of runaway electron beams in TCV
M Hoppe, J Decker, U Sheikh +17
We present a model for the particle balance in the post-disruption runaway electron plateau phase of a tokamak discharge. The model is constructed with the help of, and applied to,…
