Abstract--A two-sided inverse Biot-Savart algorithm for the
computation of critical current distributions in High Temperature
Superconductor (HTS) pellets is introduced. It is based on simul-
taneous measurement of the magnetic field on top and bottom
of the bulk sample with a double Hall probe, and the authors'
discretization and QR inversion scheme. It yields current maps
which are detailed in the ab-plane for each half of the bulk sample
along the c-axis. The computed current is a O(1/z)-weighted
average of the real current along the c-axis over each slice. This
is the best possible resolution for current maps along the c-axis,
regardless of inversion scheme.
We demonstrate the new procedure by analyzing a non-c-homo-
geneous simulation and a real HTS pellet of cylindrical geometry
with asymmetrically drilled holes on both faces.
