Theory of the runaway electron tail
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The steady-state electron distribution function of a current-carrying magnetized plasma is determined self-consistently with the enhanced ..omega.. = ..omega../sub p e/k/sub parallel//k plasma wave spectrum it generates. Consequences include enhanced fluctuations at ..omega.. approx. = ..omega../sub p e/ and energy transport by ..omega.. < ..omega../sub p e/ waves which is found to be greater than that by neoclassical ion thermal conduction and of the order of the observed transport in intermediate-density tokamaks.
