Abstract
The paper deals with a method for the identification of the plasma magnetic contour in machines for fusion research using magnetic measurements. The m ethod is based on the integration of an electromagnetic model of the passiv e structures surrounding the plasma and of an equivalent plasma representat ion able to reproduce the magnetic configuration measured at the probe loca tions.;No physical; equilibrium is considered for the plasma and therefore the results of the identification are meaningful outside the plasma contour only.
