Of all electrons, runaway electrons have long been recognized in the fusion community as a
distinctive population. They now attract special attention as a part of ITER mission …

Disruptions are a major operational concern for next generation tokamaks, including ITER.
They may generate excessive heat loads on plasma facing components, large …

Hot tail runaway electron generation is caused by incomplete thermalization of the electron
velocity distribution during rapid plasma cooling. It is an important runaway electron …

The effects of kinetic whistler wave instabilities on the runaway-electron (RE) avalanche is
investigated. With parameters from experiments at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, we …

We derive a formula for the effective critical electric field for runaway generation and decay
that accounts for the presence of partially ionized impurities in combination with synchrotron …

We analyze the dynamics of fast electrons in plasmas containing partially ionized impurity
atoms, where the screening effect of bound electrons must be included. We derive analytical …

Numerous applications such as micro-and nanoelectromechanical systems, microplasmas,
and directed energy increasingly drive device miniaturization to nanoscale and from vacuum …

Extremely low density operation free of error field penetration supports the excitation of trace-
level quiescent runaway electron (RE) populations during the flat-top of DIII-D Ohmic …

We study the effects of redistributing superthermal electrons on bremsstrahlung radiation
from hot relativistic plasma. We consider thermal and nonthermal distribution of electrons …

A systematic study of disruption-generated runaway electrons has been performed in the J-
TEXT tokamak. During the intended disruption by the argon injection in J-TEXT, the runaway …
