Abstract
The cryostat may include an inner vessel configured to accommodate one or more superconducting coils, an outer vessel encompassing the inner vessel, and a thermal shield configured between the outer vessel and the inner vessel. The thermal shield may include an internal cylinder having a first end and an external cylinder encompassing the internal cylinder, the external cylinder having a second end. The thermal shield may also include a seal head configured between the internal cylinder and the external cylinder, the seal head having a first edge and a second edge. The thermal shield may further include a connecting component including a plurality of connectors. Each of the plurality of connectors may be configured to connect the first end of the internal cylinder with the first edge of the seal head and/or the second end of the external cylinder with the second edge of the seal head.
