Abstract:
In a high field open superconducting magnet assembly, said assembly including a first superconductive main coil assembly, a second superconductive main coil assembly, and at least one support beam, a mechanical stabilizing assembly to minimize vibration between the first and second superconductive main coil assemblies of said magnet assembly comprising:a) a support means which is securable to said first superconductive main coil assembly; b) a mass which is removably attached to said support means for matching magnet motion frequency of the first superconductive main coil assembly relative to its vibrational movement towards and away from the second superconductive main coil assembly to the tuning frequency of the mechanical stabilizing assembly and for matching the direction of said magnet motion; and c) wherein the magnitude of vibration between the first and second superconductive main coil assemblies of said magnet assembly is decreased.
