Immediately testable superconductor joint

摘要

A test loop is included in soldered electrical connections of a superconducting magnet system which allows direct test evaluation of the connection to determine both its persistent current carrying ability, as well as its quench value immediately after it is fabricated. The test loop can be made a permanent part of the connection to allow checking the electrical integrity of the coil connections at any point in the manufacturing cycle of the superconducting magnet system.
