Abstract

Runaway electron currents of up to 140 kA with energies in the MeV-range and lasting for a tenth of a second have been observed in ORMAK. A theory which predicts the production and acceleration of these electrons is presented and compared with recent experimental results. Agreement between the two appears to be good.
