Abstract
A thermal radiation shield for a superconducting magnet has an inner tube, an outer tube arranged around the periphery of the inner tube, and an annular end cap disposed therebetween, and connected in a fixed manner to an edge of the inner tube by an inner edge of the annular end cap. A first toothed part is formed at an outer edge of the annular end cap, the first toothed part being connected by meshing with a second toothed part formed by an edge of the outer tube. The annular end cap with a toothed structure allows only a simple cutting process on raw material to be performed in order to obtain the annular end cap and the first toothed part formed at the outer edge thereof, thereby avoiding complex punching, spinning and similar processes, and saving production costs.
