The main performance parameter that is subjected to scaling law analysis is the [[Energy confinement time|energy confinement time]], &tau;<sub>E</sub>. ''(Sources for standard scaling laws needed)''
The main performance parameter that is subjected to scaling law analysis is the [[Energy confinement time|energy confinement time]], &tau;<sub>E</sub>.
The following are some of the most-used scalings for tokamaks:
