Abstract

A cryogenic magnet structure includes at least two superconducting coils, a magnetic yoke, and first and second cryostats. The superconducting coils are substantially symmetric about a central axis, wherein the superconducting coils are on opposite sides of a median plane. The magnetic yoke surrounds the superconducting coils and contains at least a portion of a chamber, wherein the median plane extends through the chamber. The first cryostat contains a first of the superconducting coils, and the second cryostat contains a second of the superconducting coils. The second cryostat is distinct from the first cryostat, and the first and second cryostats are on opposite sides of the median plane in the chamber.
