Runaway electron interactions with whistler waves in tokamak plasmas: energy-dependent transport scaling
Yashika Ghai, D. Del-Castillo-Negrete, D. A. Spong +1
Resonant interactions between high energy runaway electrons (REs) and whistler waves are a promising mechanism for RE mitigation in tokamak plasmas. While prior studies have largel…

Runaway electron-induced plasma facing component damage in tokamaks
S. Ratynskaia, M. Hoelzl, E. Nardon +31
This Roadmap article addresses the critical and multifaceted challenge of plasma-facing component (PFC) damage caused by runaway electrons (REs) in tokamaks, a phenomenon that pose…

Orbit-averaging and deposition accuracy for runaway electron beams in hybrid kinetic-MHD simulations of the runaway plateau
O. E. López, D. Vargun, C. D. Hauck +1
We develop a new procedure that combines the Kinetic Orbit Runaway electrons Code (KORC) and the NIMROD extended-MHD code to simulate runaway electrons (REs) in the post-disruption…
