Abstract

Neutral-beam--heated plasmas in TFTR show evidence of substantial non-Ohmically driven toroidal current, even for balanced beam momentum input. The observations are inconsistent with calculations including only Ohmic and beam-driven currents, and presently can only be matched by models including the neoclassical bootstrap current.
