Fluid and kinetic modeling of runaway electron generation from tritium beta decay and Compton scattering
Paper i 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.
