Abstract:
1. A superconducting magnet assembly comprising: a superconducting magnet coil assembly positioned within a vessel and comprising a plurality of magnet coils connected in series, the plurality of magnet coils being arranged to form symmetric coil pairs such that the magnet coils corresponding to each respective symmetric coil pair are positioned on opposite sides of a center point of the superconducting magnet coil assembly; a power supply selectively coupled to the superconducting magnet coil assembly to supply power to the plurality of magnet coils so as to cause the superconducting magnet coil assembly to generate a magnetic field; and a magnet protection system disposed within the vessel and electrically coupled to the plurality of magnet coils to form a closed loop circuit, the magnet protection system comprising:
