Abstract
In a cold superconducting joint, a joint cup is provided. Lengths of superconducting filaments are placed in the joint cup. A superconducting material fills the joint cup in contact with the superconducting filaments and in thermal and mechanical contact with a pipe carrying a cryogen. The pipe extends into the joint cup and the superconducting material extends around the pipe within the joint cup.
