2. 1. Momentum-space dynamics of runaway electrons in plasmas

   Author : Adam Stahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; synchrotron radiation; tokamak; critical electric field; non-linear collision operator; slide-away; runaway electrons; fusion-plasma physics;

   Abstract : Fast electrons in a plasma experience a friction force that decreases with increasing particle speed, and may therefore be continuously accelerated by sufficiently strong electric fields. These so-called runaway electrons may quickly reach relativistic speeds. READ MORE

4. 2. Synchrotron radiation from runaway electrons in plasmas

   Author : Adam Stahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; runaway electrons; critical electric field; fusion plasma physics; tokamak; synchrotron radiation;

   Abstract : Highly relativistic runaway electrons are of great concern in the area of fusion energy research, since their presence in tokamak plasmas have the potential to hinder the successful and stable operation of the device, and potentially cause severe structural damage. In this thesis, runaway electron generation dynamics is investigated using the newly developed efficient computational tool CODE. READ MORE
