Abstract
A superconducting magnet for producing part of a substantially toroidal field in a device is described. The magnet comprises: a set of conductors comprising one or more first conductors () and one or more second conductors (), and a set of joints (). Each of the joints () connects a region of a first conductor () with a region of a second conductor () to form a series of alternating first and second conductors corresponding to at least part of a winding of the magnet. Each of the joints () is positioned away from a midplane of the toroidal field. The joints () are positioned on alternating sides of the midplane. Each first conductor (If) passes through the midplane at a smaller distance from an axis of rotation of the toroidal field than does each second conductor (). Each of the regions is elongate and extends in a direction at least partly away from the midplane.
