Abstract
The Hungarian effort in runaway electron modelling is pretty much determined by our previous experience and limited resources. One big area is the integrated modelling of disruption mitigation by massive material injection (MMI). The main driving force behind this effort is the increasing involvement of the Hungarian Research Centre for Physics in SPI development, and it is facilitated by our long-standing collaboration with both ETS developers and the Chalmers and IPP Garching teams taking on similar approaches. Our traditional weapon of choice is ETS, but we recently started to exercise with DREAM in side quests. One is a study of current redistribution affecting the voltage spike at the beginning of the thermal quench. Another one is a feasibility study of using the Hungarian EDICAM visible camera for runaway electron detection at JT-60SA. In the near future, we hope to get into a stage of code validation, where our previous experience in experimental data analysis can be utilized and then proceed to model for future machines.
