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