Fig. 3. Results of injecting a deuterium-argon gas mixture (nD=9.2×1020 m-3, nAr=1.1×1019 m-3) (a) Evolution of plasma current (solid lines), ohmic current (dotted lines), and runaway current (dashed lines) over time, (b) Evolution of the ohmic electric field over time for different normalized radial radii

Fig. 4. Results of the variations in the platform runaway current with the injected deuterium-argon content (a) nD=9.2×1020 m-3 is kept constant whilst the argon content is gradually increased, (b) nAr=4×1018 m-3 is kept constant whilst the deuterium content is gradually increased

Fig. 5. Results of the variations in the platform runaway current with the injected deuterium-neon content (a) nD=9.2×1020 m-3 is kept constant whilst the amount of neon is gradually increased, (b) nNe=4.5×1018 m-3 is kept constant whilst the deuterium content is gradually increased
