Claim Text:
1. A superconducting wire connection structure, comprising: a first superconducting wire and a second superconducting wire, ends of which are arranged across from each other; and a third superconducting wire which is put on top surfaces of the first superconducting wire and the second superconducting wire such that the third superconducting wire spans and connects the first superconducting wire and the second superconducting wire along a longitudinal direction of the first superconducting wire and the second superconducting wire, wherein each of the first superconducting wire, the second superconducting wire and the third superconducting wire is a tape-shaped superconducting wire which includes a substrate laminated with at least a superconductive layer in an up-and-down direction which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, wherein a surface of the third superconducting wire on a side where the substrate is laminated with the superconductive layer faces surfaces of the first superconducting wire and the second superconducting wire on a side where the substrates are laminated with the superconductive layers, wherein the third superconducting wire, as seen from above, tapers toward both ends thereof such that each of the both ends is arranged within both edges of the first superconducting wire and the second superconducting wire.
