On the possible role of the bootstrap effect in the RF current drive experiments

Part II

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Conditions of existence of the bootstrap effect at anomalous diffusion in tokamaks are discussed. Assuming that these conditions are fulfilled at lower hybrid current drive, various models of anomalous diffusion and of temperature profiles are considered. Toroidal current density profiles and related quantities are calculated, demonstrating strong dependences on the electron temperature profiles and on the effective ion charge Zeff. Recommendations for experimental revealing the bootstrap current are presented.
