In ST experiments, magnetohydrodynamics stable high beta value （the ratio of the plasma pressure to the toroidal magnetic pressure） up to 50% has been routinely obtained. The confinement scaling for ST, though being less-confident compared to the database of tokamaks, seems at least to be as good as the tokamak.展开更多

The runaway confinement time τ1 in ohmic and additionally heated tokamak plasmas presents an anomalous behavior when compared with theoretical predictions based on neoclassical models. Runaway electrons have received lately a great attention due to several reasons： （a） the possibility to study electromagnetic turbulence by measuring the runaway flux fluctuations and its energy spectra, and （ b ） the runaway electrons are powerful diagnostics capable of yielding valuable information on the actual distribution function of fusion experiments.展开更多
