Abstract: The fine Selmer group of an elliptic curve over a number field is obtained as a subgroup of the usual Selmer group by imposing stronger conditions at places above . We prove a formula for the Euler-characteristic of the fine Selmer group over a $\mathbb{Z}_p$ -extension and use it to compute explicit examples.
