Observation of nonthermal electrons further acceleration and long-lasting associated with magnetic reconnection and turbulence bursting in tokamak plasma

Abstract: Vital to magnetized plasma performance, the acceleration of nonthermal electrons significantly influences the current drive of radio frequency (RF) waves in plasma. In EAST, we observed nonthermal electrons initially <215 keV in energy, being locally accelerated to 600 keV within 100 milliseconds, which corresponds to the total growth time of the magnetic island. Surprisingly, these fast electrons (FE) lasted for 1.4 seconds, several times longer than the estimated relaxation time of 0.26 seconds, and excee… Show more
