Abstract
A structure is provided for connection between Bitter coils in a magnet with homogeneous field. The magnet is formed of several Bitter coils joined side by side and whose disks are of different thicknesses and two adjacent coils are connected together by a transition disk forming a turn and having for example a set-back on each of its faces for adapting it to the different thicknesses of the disks of two coils.
Claims6
A solenoidal magnet with Bitter type annular disks of the same inner and outer diameters, comprising:
- coils of Bitter type annular disks joined side by side along a common longitudinal axis,
- the disks of any two adjacent coils being of different thicknesses;
- a flat annular transition disk forming a turn and connecting two adjacent coils;
- and
- said flat annular transition disk having at least one thickness variation depending on the difference of thicknesses of the Bitter type annular disks of said adjacent coils.
2 more elements
The solenoidal magnet according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising:
- a current distribution plate at each end thereof, in the form of a thick annular disk of the same inner and outer diameters as said Bitter type annular disks and said flat annular transition disk;
- and
- wherein one of the faces of said current distribution plate has a set-back having a height substantially equal to the disk thickness of the adjacent coil.
