摘要: Large relativistic runaway electron currents (0.1?0.5?MA) persisting for ~100?ms are created in the DIII-D tokamak during rapid discharge shut down caused by argon pellet injection. Slow upward and downward ramps were found response to externally applied loop voltages. Comparison between observed current growth/decay rate expected from knock-on avalanche mechanism suggests that classical collisional dissipation of runaways alone cannot account measured growth/damping rates. It appears a fairly constant anomalous order 10?s?1 exists, possibly stemming radial transport or direct orbit losses vessel walls, although possibility an apparent loss due profile shrinking be ruled out at present.
