Abstract

We describe a new 17 T cryomagnet for neutron, x-ray or optical experiments with rapid in-situ sample change. Sample temperatures are controllable from < 2 K to 300 K in vacuum. Alternatively a room temperature bore insert can be used for experiments in the field centre under atmospheric conditions. Some advantages of this system include very low background scattering due to the small amount of material in the beam path, rapid cooldown, and fast field ramping. Access is available in a ~10-11 degree cone around the field direction on both sides.
