In the fusion context, the term refers to the trajectories of the magnetic field lines and is used to describe:
* The boundary between closed and open field lines, separating the toroidally confined region from the region where field lines connect to material surfaces - in the case of a divertor configuration in [[Tokamak|tokamaks]], or a similar situation in other devices.
* The boundary between closed and open field lines, separating the toroidally confined region from the region where field lines connect to material surfaces - in the case of a [[Divertor|divertor]] configuration in [[Tokamak|tokamaks]], or a similar situation in other devices.
* The boundary between the inside of a magnetic island and the surrounding region.
