“…3 and 4. On the other hand, the accurate computation of the self-consistent radial electric field is a known central problem for full-f gyrokinetics, 21,69 part of it being due to the following degeneracy, intrinsic in neoclassical theory: prediction in an axisymmetric system is on the combination E r À v u B h , which is degenerate in the absence of toroidal symmetry-breaking mechanisms, should they be (i) of geometric nature -ripple, 70,71 error fields-or should they appear (ii) through the onset of the turbulence -E Â B shear, 72 turbulent Reynolds stresses, [73][74][75] or intensity gradients-or (iii) through the inclusion of sources of toroidal momentum. The restriction of the conventional neoclassical equilibrium in Eq.…”
