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 …

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 …

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 …

The potential for damage, the magnitude of the extrapolation, and the importance of the
atypical—incidents that occur once in a thousand shots—make theory and simulation …

Disruption-generated runaway electron (RE) beams represent a severe threat for tokamak
plasma-facing components in high current devices like ITER, thus motivating the search of …

The electron runaway phenomenon in plasmas depends sensitively on the momentum-
space dynamics. However, efficient simulation of the global evolution of systems involving …

Disruption-generated runaway electron (RE) beams represent a potentially severe threat for
tokamak plasma-facing components. Application of properly designed 3D fields can act as a …

Motivated by the losses of runaway electrons during disruptive events in present and future
tokamaks like the ITER, we investigate the transport in mixed phase space Hamiltonian …

Disruption-generated runaway electrons (RE) present an outstanding issue for ITER. The
predictive computational studies of RE generation rely on orbit-averaged computations and …

The breakup of magnetic surfaces is a central feature of ITER planning for the avoidance of
damage due to runaway electrons. Rapid thermal quenches, which lead to large …
