Description

Bootstrap current is estimated with the Hirshman-Sigmar theory and is compared with the various approximate formula. Measured resistive loop voltage is compared with the calculations using the neoclassical resistivity with and without the bootstrap current and the Spitzer resistivity for a wide range of the plasma current (Ip = 0.5-2MA) and the poloidal beta (βP = 0.1-2.0). Recalculated resistive loop voltage is roughly consistent with the neoclassical prediction including the Bootstrap current. The inclusion of the Bootstrap current due to fast ion seems to improve the coincidence. (author)
