  1. 11. Kinetic modelling of runaways in plasmas

    Författare :Ola Embréus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; runaway; Fokker-Planck equation; tokamak; Boltzmann equation; positrons; bremsstrahlung; plasma; synchrotron radiation;

    Sammanfattning : The phenomenon of runaway occurs in plasmas in the presence of a strong electric field, when the accelerating force overcomes the collisional friction acting on the charged particles moving through the plasma. Electron runaway is observed in both laboratory and space plasmas, and is of great importance in fusion-energy research, where the energetic electrons can damage the plasma-facing components of fusion reactors.

  2. 12. Kinetic modeling of runaway-electron dynamics in partially ionized plasmas

    Författare :Linnea Hesslow; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; runaway electrons; tokamaks; plasma physics; magnetic confinement fusion; electron-ion collisions; Fokker-Planck equation;

    Sammanfattning : An essential result of kinetic plasma physics is the runaway phenomenon, whereby a fraction of an electron population can be accelerated to relativistic energies. Such runaway electrons are formed in astrophysical settings, but are also of great practical relevance to fusion research. LÄS MER

  3. 13. Simulation of runaway electron generation during plasma shutdown by impurity injection

    Författare :Tamás Fehér; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; disruption mitigation; fusion plasma physics; impurity injection; runaway electron; tokamak;

    Sammanfattning : Disruptions are dangerous instabilities in tokamaks that should be avoided or mitigated. One possible disruption mitigation method is to inject impurities into the plasma to shut it down in a controlled way. Runaway Electrons (REs) can be generated after the plasma is cooled down bythe impurities and these electrons can damage the tokamak. LÄS MER

  4. 14. The role of magnetic perturbations in runaway electron and sawtooth dynamics

    Författare :Gergely Papp; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tokamak; runaway electron; sawtooth oscillation; magnetic perturbation; MHD mode; fusion plasma physics;

    Sammanfattning : Nuclear fusion in tokamaks is a possible future energy production mechanism. Some of the still unsolved problems are connected to the effect of magnetic perturbations on the radial plasma transport. Two such problems are addressed in this thesis. LÄS MER
