ABSTRACT:
A method for operating a superconductive magnet having a superconductor. The magnet is ramped to generally the design current. After that, the magnet is brought to an annealing temperature which is above the operating temperature and below the critical temperature. After that, the magnet is shimmed at a shimming temperature which is at least as cold as the annealing temperature. After that, the magnet is used, at the operating temperature, for a predetermined purpose, such as MRI imaging for medical diagnosis. Preferably, the superconductor has less than twenty-five superconductive filaments.
