Abstract
A High Temperature Superconductor, HTS, magnet comprising a coil formed of nested concentric windings. Each winding comprises HTS material. The HTS magnet further comprises a conductor element comprising an electrical contact surface through which to supply electric current to a portion of at least one of the windings. The surface provides electrical contact between the conductor element and an axial edge of the coil substantially around the path of the at least one of the windings.

1-47. (canceled)
A High Temperature Superconductor, HTS, magnet comprising:
- a coil formed of nested concentric windings wound around an axis of the coil, each winding comprising HTS material;
- and
- first and second conductor elements each comprising respective electrical contact surfaces through which to supply electric current to, or receive electric current from, a portion of a respective at least one of the windings, each electrical contact surface providing electrical contact between the conductor element and an axial edge of the coil at least partially around the respective at least one of the windings, the electrical contact surface of the first conductor element being located closer to the axis than the electrical contact surface of the second conductor element, whereby electrical current supplied to the coil through the first conductor element circulates around successive windings of the coil before being received by the second conductor element.
