Fluid and kinetic modeling of runaway electron generation from tritium beta decay and Compton scattering
Paper in proceeding, 2024

We derived kinetic sources of energetic electrons generated by tritium beta decay and Compton scattering and compared them to the corresponding fluid RE generation rates [2]. In the SPARC example considered, using kinetic (as opposed to fluid) sources yielded 25 % higher RE current. The reason for this is that energetic electrons generated by the kinetic sources with p < pc can run away since collisions for these electrons are kinetically resolved.
