Resonant Pitch-Angle Scattering Of Runaway-Electrons by Externally-launched Helicon Waves in the DIII-D Tokamak
Hari Choudhury, Jeffrey Lestz, Carlos Paz-Soldan +12
Resonant wave-particle interactions between externally launched helicon waves (also known as whistler waves) and runaway electrons (REs) have been demonstrated on the DIII-D tokama…
