SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNET WITH IMPROVED SUPPORT STRUCTURE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a superconducting magnet with an improved support structure that achieves improvement in stability of a magnet.

SOLUTION: The superconducting magnet is described and includes at least one superconducting coil, at least one support member coupled to the superconducting coil and at least one compliant interface between the superconducting coil and the support member. The superconducting coil defines a radial direction. The superconducting coil supports the superconducting coil along an axial direction that is substantially perpendicular to the radial direction. The compliant interface is configured to move along the radial direction when the superconducting magnet is energized.
