2 . Motivation ST has a large potential for D- He fusion. Although the large plasma current required for ignition can be ramped up by the vertical field and heating power even without the central solenoid, the following concerns may appear: []the plasma current itself is very large, []the plasma current changes when the plasma energy changes. []the current hole produced in the initial phase does not shrink due to long resistive decay time, leading to the high energy particle confinement problems, and q min = limitation of the plasma current. Purpose of this Using the central solenoid in the high aspect ratio tokamak, disadvantageous point of ST is removed. Namely, the current hole is removed in the initial low temperature phase, leading to improving the high energy particle confinement, q min limit, and the plasma current Feasibility of D- He HA
