Abstract
We show that we can detect the direction of the magnetization in a vortex core by just using electrical transport measurements. The shape of the homodyne peak when a vortex is resonantly excited by an AC current is found to be a direct measure of the out-of-plane component in the vortex core and can thus serve as a detector of a vortex core reversal.
