Description
Full text: The suppression and mitigation of runaway electron (RE) is an urgent issue of large scale tokamak operation. The contribution of hot-tail effect, which arises from the fast thermal quench, is studied using Fokker-Planck simulation. It is found that if the thermal quench is fast enough to invoke the hot-tail effect, it may produce seed REs and enhance total RE current even in a high electron density plasma. (author)
