Concentric tilted double-helix dipoles and higher-order multipole magnets

A method of forming a dipole magnet, comprising the steps of:

• winding a first layer helical coil about at least one of:
• a magnet core and a general coil form, wherein the coil wound on the core would have windings at the required final tilt angle, and whereas the coil wound on the general coil form would have a larger aperture and more vertical tilt angle than a final assembled configuration;
• transferring the first coil layer from the general coil form to the magnet core and inclining the windings to a selected tilt angle and final position;
• winding a second layer helical coil about the first layer or general coil form, wherein the second coil wound over the first layer coil would have windings at a required final tilt angle, whereas the coil wound on the general coil form would have a larger aperture and greater vertical tilt angle than the final assembled configuration;
• transferring the second coil layer from the general coil form to the magnet core and inclining the windings to the selected tilt angle and the final position;
• and
• forming electrical connections between the 2 coils so that solenoid fields produced by the 2 coils will be in opposite directions and cancel each other while dipole fields will add.
