Equilibrium Analysis of Iron-Core Tokamaks using a Full-Domain Method

An efficient full-domain method for plasma equilibrium reconstruction in iron-core tokamaks is described. lllustrative calculations and comparison with results obtained from a finitedomain method using JET data are given. The results show that both types of methods are in agreement with respect to global plasma parameters such as stored energy, internal inductance, volume, and edge safety factor. However, when there is an uncertainty in the magnetic flux loop measurements, the full-domain method yields a more accurate separatrix location.
