RFX is a magnetically confined fusion experiment in operation since 1992 in
Padova, Italy, Analysis of the magnetic field is essential for the safe op
eration of the machine and the understanding of high-temperature plasma dyn
amics. Both of these issues require an accurate electromagnetic diagnostic
system.
In this paper, after a discussion of the problems related to magnetic measu
rements in fusion experiments, with particular reference to the RFX environ
ment, the probes recently installed inside the vacuum vessel will be descri
bed.
