Uncertainties of magnetic equilibrium reconstructions
Abstract Uncertainties of quantities of magnetic equilibrium reconstructions are essential for the validation and quantification of estimated plasma parameters and their uncertainties. The uncertainties of a few equilibrium quantities can be evaluated analytically. A Monte-Carlo...
