Bootstrap current: self-generated toroidal current ∝ ε^{1/2}·(dp/dψ)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the fusion-physics subtree

Neoclassical 'bootstrap' current (Bickerton-Connor-Taylor 1971): a fraction of the tokamak toroidal current arises spontaneously from trapped-particle asymmetries in a pressure-gradient plasma, with no external drive. j_bs ∝…
