Abstract

The energy of disruption generated runaway electrons can reach as high as tens of megaelectronvolt and they can cause a serious damage of plasma-facing-component surfaces in large tokamaks like International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The synchrotron radiation diagnostic allows a direct observation of such runaway electrons and an analysis of their parameters and promotes the safety operation of present day large tokamaks and future ITER. Only this diagnostic will be applied in ITER. In the paper detail analysis of the synchrotron radiation spectra of runaway electrons for the recent Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST, Institute of Plasma Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences) experiment parameters has been presented. The calculations are carried out on the base of precise expression for synchrotron radiation spectral density. They make more precise spectra analysis of the previous paper by Zhou R.J., Pankratov I.M., Hu L.Q., et al. (Physics of Plasmas, 2014, Vol. 21, No. 6, 063302). Obtained results are important for correct interpretation of runaway EAST experiments and runaway experiments in other tokamaks.
