Magnetic fluctuation level in disruption plasmas in the TEXTOR tokamak

摘要

Runaway transport is used to probe the magnetic fluctuation level for TEOXTOR disruption plasmas. A zero-dimensional model of the current quench including the generation of runaway electrons has been applied to simulate the experimental current evolution during major disruptions [Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion. 50 (2008), 105007]. According to the loss rate of runaway electrons used in be fitting parameter of the zero-dimensional model, the magnetic fluctuation level in TEXTOR is derived. It is found that the magnetic fluctuation level is in the order of 10(-5), and it increases with the atom number mixed into the plasma.
