Abstract

In a magnet arrangement (M, D, P1, . . . , Pn) having a magnet coil system (M) with at least one current-carrying superconducting magnet coil, with an additional current-carrying coil system (D) which can be fed by an external current source to produce a magnetic field in the working volume which differs substantially from zero, and optionally with additional superconductingly closed current paths (P1, . . . , Pn), wherein the magnetic fields in the z direction, generated by the additional current paths (P1, . . . , Pn) due to currents induced during operation and the field of the additional current-carrying coil system (D) do not exceed 0.1 Tesla in the working volume, the additional coil system (D) is designed such that its field contribution to the working volume is determined taking into account the diamagnetism of the superconductor in the main coil system. This permits as large as possible an effective field efficiency of the additional coil system (D).
