DIII-D experiments at low density (n_{e}∼10^{19} m^{-3}) have directly measured whistler waves in the 100-200 MHz range excited by multi-MeV runaway electrons. Whistler activity is correlated with intensity (hard x-ray emission level), occurs novel discrete frequency bands, and exhibits nonlinear limit-cycle-like behavior. The frequencies scale magnetic field strength electron as expected from dispersion relation. modes are stabilized increasing field, which consistent wave-particle...

Relativistic electron (RE) beams at high current density (low safety factor, qa) yet very low free-electron accessed with D2 secondary injection in the DIII-D and JET tokamak are found to exhibit large-scale MHD instabilities that benignly terminate RE beam. In JET, this technique has enabled termination of MA-level currents without measurable first-wall heating. This scenario thus offers an unexpected alternate pathway achieve mitigation collisional dissipation. Benign is explained by two...
