Description

Shimming method of Halbach configuration magnet
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of magnet shimming, in particular to a shimming method of a Halbach-configuration magnet.
Background
The Halbach-shaped magnet is widely applied to magnetic resonance instruments, particle accelerators and refrigeration systems due to high magnetic material utilization rate. The ideal Halbach magnet structure is infinite in length and continuous in magnetizing direction, and based on the proportion of the inner diameter and the outer diameter, a magnetic field with specific field intensity and high uniformity in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction can be generated. However, in actual manufacturing, the manufacturing of Halbach is usually realized by cutting off the length of the magnet and discretizing the magnetization direction, but correspondingly introducing high-order components. In addition, due to the processing errors (size, declination, remanence) and installation errors of the magnetic blocks, the nonuniformity of the magnetic field after installation is seriously influenced, which is very unfavorable for high-resolution magnetic resonance application. Shimming is a main method for improving the uniformity of a magnetic field, and comprises active shimming and passive shimming. Compared with active shimming, passive shimming has enough shimming capability, current constraint is reduced for subsequent active shimming, and on the other hand, high-precision passive shimming can enable the instrument to be directly applied to some relaxation applications.
Passive shimming is achieved by placing a certain number of ferromagnetic plates at specific positions to shim the main magnetic field.
