Abstract: A new experimental regime has recently been studied for achieving high fraction of the bootstrap current in the JT-60U hydrogen discharges. The high poloidal beta (βp ~ 3.61) plasma was obtained by high-power neutral beam injection heating at very high edge safety factor (Ip = 0.3 MA, Bt = 3.65 T, qeff = 25 - 35) region, and the bootstrap current fraction (fBS) was about 40% using the ACCOME code calculation. It was observed that there were no magnetohydrodynamics instabilities to retard the increase of βp and fBS parameters in the new regime.
