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 …

Nuclear fusion power delivered by magnetic-confinement tokamak reactors holds the
promise of sustainable and clean energy. The avoidance of large-scale plasma instabilities …

For stable and efficient fusion energy production using a tokamak reactor, it is essential to
maintain a high-pressure hydrogenic plasma without plasma disruption. Therefore, it is …

For the first time it is experimentally demonstrated on the JET tokamak that a combination of
a low impurity concentration bulk plasma and large magnetohydrodynamic instabilities is …

JOREK is a massively parallel fully implicit non-linear extended magneto-hydrodynamic
(MHD) code for realistic tokamak X-point plasmas. It has become a widely used versatile …

Data-driven science and technology offer transformative tools and methods to science. This
review article highlights the latest development and progress in the interdisciplinary field of …

A self-consistent analysis of the relevant physics regarding the formation and termination of
runaway beams during mitigated disruptions by Ar and Ne injection is presented for selected …

Disruptions are a major operational concern for next generation tokamaks, including ITER.
