Mike,

Because of the significant "losses" created by the very sparks/streamers
we're looking for, the "Q" of the system is really not of tremendous
importance. A superconducting coil would show relatively little
performance improvement over a well-constructed room temperatur coil
once the coil was "breaking out".
