* The boundary between closed and open field lines, separating the toroidally confined region from the region where field lines connect to material surfaces (such as divertors, limiters, or walls) - also known as the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL). This boundary is also called the Last Closed Flux Surface (LCFS). | * The boundary between closed and open field lines, separating the toroidally confined region from the region where field lines connect to material surfaces (such as divertors, limiters, or walls) - also known as the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL).
