Off-axis Current Drive

Off-Axis Current Drive is a current drive technique in plasma physics that generates non-inductive current predominantly at a radial location away from the magnetic axis of a toroidal confinement device, distinguishing it from on-axis current drive methods by its spatial localization and role in tailoring the current profile for improved plasma stability and performance.
