Abstract

A superconducting magnet coil configuration has at least one section containing a superconducting strip conductor which is wound in several layers like a solenoid in a cylindrical winding chamber (1) between two end flanges (2, 3), characterized in that the radially innermost layers of the section consist of metallic low-temperature superconductors (LTS) (LTS layers (8)) and radially adjacent layers of the section are formed from high-temperature superconductor (HTS) material (HTS layers (9)). The invention proposes a magnet coil configuration using HTS material which has a notch structure for correcting inhomogeneities and homogenizing a compact high-field magnet, wherein the mechanical load on the HTS strip conductor is minimized.
