Abstract
A superconducting magnet utilizing a pair of donut-shaped annular magnet assemblies including in each a cryogen pressure vessel with a non-magnetic cylindrical divider forming pairs of concentric chambers. Pairs of axial non-magnetic strut members spaced about the interior of the pressure vessel extend at an angle within the concentric chambers between the end flanges of each assembly to resist forces generated within and between the pair of magnet assemblies.
