الوصف: Novel x-ray detection technology enabled the first profile measurements of the birth and growth dynamics of runaway electrons (REs) at the edge of tokamaks during quiescent RE studies at the Madison Symmetric Torus. The formation of an off-axis RE seed with linear growth rates has been resolved for low energies, a hollow streaming parameter and large electric fields ($E_{\parallel}/E_{D}$) in agreement with theory and simulations. Secondary exponential growth rates have also been spatially resolved for the first time and are consistent with a convective transport of the order of the Ware pinch and energies up to $10^3\times T_{e,0}$. Numerical simulations are shown to reproduce the experimental observations including the off-axis runaway electron generation, radial transport and exponential growth at the core, as well as suppression due to $m=3$ resonant magnetic perturbations.
