Description

Relativistic runaway electrons emit synchrotron radiation, which can be used to experimentally diagnose features of the runaway electron distribution function. In this contribution, we present the analysis of visible-light camera images of synchrotron emission from runaways in the ASDEX Upgrade discharge #35628. We perform both forward (solution of a fluid-kinetic equation system) and backward (constraining the distribution function from measured data) modelling.
