Tóm tắt

This paper discusses the transverse runaway effect in the electron-temperature approximation. The combinations of scattering mechanisms and the corresponding threshold electric fields for which transverse runaway develops are determined. It is shown that the transverse-runaway effect is not associated with any approximation.
