Abstract:
A method of producing a birdcage superconducting coil, said method comprising the steps of:providing a top and bottom base members, each made of an electrically conductive material and having a flange part and a cylindrical part; providing a plurality of elongated strips, each comprising an elongated planar substrate having two main opposite surfaces, each said main surface having top and bottom end portions and a central portion therebetween; growing a high temperature superconducting (HTS) layer onto said central portion of at least one said main surface comprising a pair of capacitance-providing spots with a wavy path therebetween; and mounting said plurality of elongated strips between said top and bottom base members by a plurality of L-shaped brackets made of electrically conductive material and having a base branch and a strip-supporting branch for supporting strips of said plurality and cooling said L-shaped brackets conduction.
