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 thermal and electromagnetic loads related to disruptions in ITER are substantial and
require careful design of tokamak components to ensure they reach the projected lifetime …

An overview of the present status of research toward the final design of the ITER disruption
mitigation system (DMS) is given. The ITER DMS is based on massive injection of impurities …

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 …

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.
They may generate excessive heat loads on plasma facing components, large …

This Letter presents a rigorous kinetic theory for relativistic runaway electrons in the near
critical electric field in tokamaks. The theory provides a distribution function of the runaway …

Recent results from an ITPA joint experiment to study the onset, growth, and decay of
relativistic electrons (REs) indicate that loss mechanisms other than collisional dam** may …

The operation of a 3D coil—passively driven by the current quench (CQ) loop voltage—for
the deconfinement of runaway electrons (REs) is modeled for disruption scenarios in the …

Realization of a high-current (approaching 1 MA) post-disruption runaway electron (RE)
beam in DIII-D yields controlled access to very low edge safety factor (qa) conditions. This …
