Homogenous magnetic field generating device for e.g. magnetic resonance imaging installation, has plane single pancake coils with ends, and transition section providing shift equal to transverse dimension of conductor along horizontal axis

摘要

The device has a superconducting coil arrangement including a stack of a set of modular elements (8), each having a rectangular cross section conductor made of a superconducting material wound in the form of a double-pancake coil. The coil has plane single pancake coils (10, 20) presented in the form of a spiral, and a transition section (30) provided between the coils. Each of the coils (10, 20) has connection ends (11, 21) located in an external peripheral part of the coil, and the transition section provides a shift equal to a transverse dimension of the conductor along a horizontal axis. An independent claim is also included for a method of fabricating a homogenous magnetic field creating device.
