Abstract
Abstract Permanent magnet structures are fabricated from a plurality of hollow cylrical flux sources, the sources displaced radially from each other progressively along the structures' elongate axes so as to produce a heliform magnetic field extending centrally in a passage through the structures. Superconducting plates are interspersed between adjacent flux sources and also cover the end faces of the array.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A magnetic structure comprising a plurality of hollow substantially cylindrical flux sources, each having a generally centrally disposed hole therethrough, arranged concentrically on an elongate axis with said holes in substantial registration along said axis to define an elongate axial passage extending through said structure; each respective hollow substantially cylindrical flux source displaced radially on said elongate axis from its respective adjacent source so as to produce a helically oriented magnetic field; and superconducting sheets interspersed between adjacent flux sources and also covering the end faces of the array.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A magnetic structure comprising a plurality of hollow substantially cylindrical flux sources, each having a generally centrally disposed hole therethrough, arranged concentrically on an elongate axis with said holes in substantial registration along said axis to define an elongate axial passage extending through said structure; each respective hollow substantially cylindrical flux source displaced radially on said elongate axis from its respective adjacent source so as to produce a helically oriented magnetic field; and superconducting sheets interspersed between adjacent flux sources and also covering the end faces of the array.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A magnetic structure as defined in claim 1 wherein each superconducting sheet has an axial disposed hole to permit passage of an electron beam through the entire structure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A magnetic structure defined in claim 2 wherein the superconducting sheets are at least peripherally coextensive with the flux sources.
