Abstract
A solenoidal magnet section has a high-temperature-superconductor tape wound in a solenoidal manner in a main winding chamber of a coil former. Two joints, each from the HTS tape to a follow-on superconductor, are integrated in the magnet section. The terminal sections of the HTS tape and the associated follow-on superconductor are each wound onto the coil former and connected to one another in a laminar manner. The regions of the first and second joint are axially offset from each other and the main winding chamber. The magnet section occupies a radial range with limits less than 20% larger than the outer radius of the main HTS winding package and less than 20% smaller than the inner radius of the coil former in the region of the main winding chamber. A plurality of magnet sections can be inserted one inside the other to form a magnet coil assembly.
