title: A 17 T horizontal field cryomagnet with rapid sample change designed for beamline use.
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 below 2 K to 300 K in vacuum. Alternatively a room temperature bore insert can be used for experiments at the field center under atmospheric conditions. Some of the 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° cone around the field direction on both sides.
