Bootstrap current for tokamak plasma with anisotropic electron temperature

The neoclassical bootstrap current for an anisotropic plasma has been studied in a large aspect-ratio tokamak. The enhancement factor due to the temperature anisotropy in the equilibrium electron distribution function is explicitly calculated, and is shown to reach to about 1.5 when the perpendicular temperature is twice as large as the parallel temperature. This bootstrap current is also predicted to have the component proportional to the radial electric field even in an axisymmetric magnetic field. (author)
