Abstract
A cryostat includes a magnet arrangement for the generation of a magnetic field B0, the magnet arrangement comprising an LTS portion having at least one LTS section made from a conventional low-temperature superconductor and an HTS portion having at least one HTS section made from a high-temperature superconductor. The HTS portion is arranged radially within the LTS portion, and the cryostat is designed to control the temperature of the LTS portion and the HTS portion independently of one another, wherein the HTS portion is electrically isolated from the LTS portion, and is designed to be superconductingly short-circuited. The invention proposes a cryostat with magnet arrangement which enables a high magnetic field strength in a compact space and, at the same time, can be easily constructed.
