Resonant interaction between runaway electrons and the toroidal magnetic field ripple in TCV

This work explains the anomalously high runaway electron (RE) pitch angles inferred in the flat-top of dedicated Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) experiments. Kinetic modelling shows that the resonant interaction between the gyromotion of the electrons and the toroidal magnetic field ripple wi...
