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…

Detachment scalings derived from 1D scrape-off-layer simulations
Thomas Body, Thomas Eich, Adam Q Kuang +4
Fusion power plants will require detachment to mitigate sputtering and keep divertor heat fluxes at tolerable levels. Controlling detachment on these devices may require the use of…
