Abstract
Abstract
Runaway electrons are considered dangerous for the integrity
of tokamak vacuum vessels. To secure the success of the future
tokamak-based machines, reliable diagnostics and mitigation
strategies are necessary. The COMPASS tokamak supported the research
of runaway electron physics via regular experimental
campaigns. During the last two experimental campaigns dedicated to
runaway electrons, a semiconductor detector with a Timepix3 readout
chip, Si sensor, and the SPIDR readout system was tested. Time
evolution signals, energy measurements, and sensor snapshots
collected with the Timepix3-based detector are presented.
