Tokamak heating by relativistic electron beams

The use of relativistic electron beams for supplementary heating of tokamaks to ignition temperatures is discussed, under the assumption that they can be successfully injected. It is shown that if an electron beam with presentstate-of-the-art power, but longer pulse length, can be injected into an Ohmically pre-heated tokamak plasma, it transfers its energy to the plasma on a time-scale short e...

Relativistic electron beams above thunderclouds

Non-luminous relativistic electron beams above thunderclouds have been detected by the radio signals of low frequency ∼40–400 kHz which they radiate. The electron beams occur ∼2–9 ms after positive cloud-to-ground lightning discharges at heights between ∼22–72 km above thunderclouds. Intense positive lightning discharges can also cause sprites which occur either above or prior to the electron b...
