Equilibrium Reconstruction (ER) is an inverse problem, where the signals from experimental diagnostics are used to determine the parameters (current profile, pressure profile) which specify an MHD equilibrium.
 

                            Equilibrium Reconstruction (ER) is an in-
verse problem, where the signals from experimental diagnostics are used
to determine the parameters (current profile, pressure profile) which
specify an MHD equilibrium. The V3FIT code is a tightly coupled ER
code that uses VMEC (a three-dimensional MHD equilibrium code) to
solve the forward problem. Results of a careful comparison with the ax-
isymmetric ER code EFIT will be presented. We will also show results
of reconstructions of the CTH toroidal hybrid experiment at Auburn
University.
