git clone --depth 1 --branch <tag_name> https://github.com/osrep/Runin.git.

How to build

This code can only be run and compiled on ITM or IMAS environments. To build simply type:

./build.sh

If you want to build and test type:

./test.sh

High level summary of functions

Indicating the presence of runaway electrons:

1. Indicate, whether the absolute value of the electric field exceeds the critical level, thus runaway generation is possible.

2. Indicate, whether the primary runaway electron (RE) growth rate exceeds a preset limit. This calculation takes only the Dreicer runaway generation method in account and assumes a velocity distribution close to Maxwellian, therefore this result should be considered with caution.
