Electron heat flux and propagating fronts in plasma thermal quench via ambipolar transport

The thermal collapse of a nearly collisionless plasma interacting with a cooling spot, in which the electron parallel heat flux plays an essential role, is both theoretically and numerically investigated. We show that such thermal collapse, which is known as thermal quench in tokamaks, comes about i...
