Implementation and verification of the avalanche source in a 3D full-f particle-in-cell model of relativistic electrons for studies of tokamak disruptions
Fiona Wouters, Hannes Bergström, Matthias Hoelzl +3
Disruptions threaten tokamak operation not only because of large in-vessel forces and thermal heat loads, but also because some electrons may be accelerated to relativistic energie…

JOREK simulations of the X-point radiator formation and its movement in ASDEX Upgrade
Y. C. Liang, A. Cathey, M. Hoelzl +7
Future large-scale magnetic confinement fusion reactors require operational regimes that can avoid extreme heat fluxes onto the plasma-facing components. One promising regime is th…
