Official group picture for the Joint Runaway Electron Modelling and JET SPI Analysis meeting held in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Several disruptions members presented at the Joint Runaway Electron Modelling (REM) and WPTE RT03 Analysis meeting on June 2nd-6th at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. This small annual meeting brings together the world’s leading experts on runaway electrons, and provides a great venue for discussion and collaboration among scientists from a variety of institutions.

Three MIT PSFC Disruption Group members presented talks at this meeting. Research scientist Alex Tinguely remotely presented an overview of runaway electron modeling and mitigation in SPARC. Post-Doc Rishabh Datta remotely presented his work on three-dimensional MHD and Runaway Electron Simulations of SPARC Disruptions using M3D-C1. Graduate student Abby Feyrer presented simulations of runaway electron impacts in SPARC and Alcator C-Mod. For this work Abby was recognized with a student presentation award.

Winners of the best student poster award, including PSFC Disruptions member Abby.
