Abstract
A helium cooled superconducting magnet assembly with helium gas recondensing apparatus to return liquid helium to the helium supply in the helium vessel in which the recondensing apparatus positioned within the space between the vacuum vessel and surrounding vacuum vessel in thermal contact with a cryocooler within a fixed cryocooler sleeve in the vacuum vessel with the cryocooler positioned to minimize magnetic disturbances to the magnet assembly magnetic field and the recondenser connected through thin corrugated steel tubing to the helium vessel with the tubing sized to provide thermal and vibration isolation of the helium vessel.
