Abstract
The neoclassical transport theory in a presence of the temperature ani sotropy in the equilibrium distribution function is developed in a lar ge aspect-ratio tokamak. Using a model collision operator, the transpo rt coefficients for the cross-field fluxes and the bootstrap current a re explicitly calculated in the banana regime. The electron perpendicu lar (parallel) heating is found to increase (decrease) the cross-field particle and energy fluxes of electrons and the bootstrap current. Th e cross-field energy flux of ions are increased (decreased) by the per pendicular (parallel) ion heating. The cross-field fluxes and the boot strap current are also shown to have the component proportional to the radial electric field.
