Abstract:The current driven by neutral beam injection in tokamak is calculated, and the slowing-down distribution function of the fast ion is obtained by the backward Euler iteration method, including the pitch angle scattering collision. This study reveals that when the pitch-angle cosine is small, the trapped fast-ion current significantly contributes to the total driven current, particularly when the neutral beam is injected perpendicularly. In such cases, the current densities of passing and trapped ions are of the… Show more
