Abstract

A compact magnet is disclosed for high field, superconducting magnets for use in magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The magnet has at least a first and a second group of coils with the or each coil in the first group having wound to provide a negative current density with respect to the other coils. The first group acts to enable the overall length of the magnet to be reduced while maintaining a homogenous field over a central region of the magnet.
