Abstract
In this paper we present new measurements of HXR radiation from the COMPASS tokamak by the use of scintillation detector, 21-pinhole CdTe semiconductor detector. This radiation is caused by the presence of highly energetic runaway electrons and in the case of Neutral Beam Injection by fusion products.
We also present direct runaway electrons measurements by Cherenkov detector. We present a theoretical prediction of runaway production based on theoretical formula and experimental data from Thomson scattering and compare it with a simpler experimental method based on peak counting.
