Suppression of runaway electrons by injection of argon gas in the low-density discharges in the STOR-M tokamak

Behaviors of runaway electrons have been investigated by injection of argon impurity gas during the low-density hydrogen discharges in the STOR-M tokamak. Argon gas is puffed using a fast electromagnetic gas puffing valve with various amounts of gas puffed at different injection times. It has been f...

description Behaviors of runaway electrons have been investigated by injection of argon impurity gas during the low-density hydrogen discharges in the STOR-M tokamak. Argon gas is puffed using a fast electromagnetic gas puffing valve with various amounts of gas puffed at different injection times. It has been found that puffing of an appropriate amount of gas can suppress the already generated runaway electrons evidenced by the intensity reduction of the hard X-ray (HXR) radiation caused by the impact of runaway electrons on the STOR-M chamber wall. On the other hand, excessive argon gas puffing causes earlier termination of the discharge.
