Abstract
The current penetration in the startup phase of the SINP tokamak disch arge is investigated by using soft X ray diagnostics. It is found that the current penetration during the current rise phase is anomalous, a nd the results show that current driven ion acoustic instability must be the most prominent candidate for rapid current penetration.
