Correlation of the L-mode density limit with edge collisionality
Andrew Maris, Cristina Rea, Alessandro Pau +10
The "density limit" is one of the fundamental bounds on tokamak operating space, and is commonly estimated via the empirical Greenwald scaling. This limit has garnered renewed inte…

Modeling the complete prevention of disruption-generated runaway electron beam formation with a passive 3D coil in SPARC
RA Tinguely, VA Izzo, DT Garnier +8
The potential formation of multi-mega-ampere beams of relativistic "runaway" electrons (REs) during sudden terminations of tokamak plasmas poses a significant challenge to the toka…

Kinetic modelling of runaway electron avalanches in tokamak plasmas
E. Nilsson, J. Decker, Y. Peysson +3
Runaway electrons (REs) can be generated in tokamak plasmas if the accelerating force from the toroidal electric field exceeds the collisional drag force due to Coulomb collisions…
