Introduction

The runaway electrons (RE) pose a major threat for future tokamak facilities due to their detrimental effects on the first wall of tokamak and this issue needs to be resolved for successful operation of future experimental facilities. The runaway electrons are high energy particles with the velocities comparable to velocity of speed light. Due to relatively high loop voltage and low density electron density the GOLEM tokamak is a suitable experimental device for investigation of runaway electrons.

Task description

In tokamaks runaway electrons are widely studied with help of radiation, which is generated by interaction of runaway electrons with solid materials (e.g. limiter or first wall). At Golem the HXR radiation is measured by various scintillation detectors (\(NaI(Tl)\), \(YAP\), \(CdBr_3\)).

Requirements

The participant should be familiar with any programing language (Python strongly recomended) and be capable to visualize and process data, which will be recorded during experiments at Golem.
