Abstract:
In order to avoid the duplication of the period and cost required for magnetic field adjustment, minimize the magnetic field adjustment period in a final installation site, and achieve highly efficient magnetic field adjustment of a magnet, a method for adjusting the homogeneity of a static magnetic field generated in a measurement space by a static magnetic field generation means by disposing magnetic field correction means for generating a corrected magnetic field with respect to the static magnetic field comprises: a step for measuring the static magnetic field generated by the static magnetic field generation means; a step for expanding the spatial distribution of the measured static magnetic field in a series; a first magnetic field adjustment step for correcting a high-order term irregular magnetic field components expanded in a series; and a second step for adjusting a low-order irregular magnetic field component, the second step being performed after the first adjustment step.
