Abstract
A 14 T actively shielded animal MRI magnet has been designed and is currently under construction. The magnet has a warm bore of 175 mm diameter and consists of Nb

Sn and NbTi solenoid coils. This paper presents the results of electromagnetic, structural and quench protection designs of the magnet. The magnetic field homogeneity is 0.9 ppm within a 60 mm diameter of spherical volume. The distance of 5 Gauss line from the magnet center is 2.4 m radially and 2.9 m axially. Stress analysis shows that the maximum axial and circumferential stresses in the coils are −73 MPa and 144 MPa, respectively. Under the worst quench scenarios, the maximum hotspot temperature and inter-layer voltage in the coils are constrained to 169 K and 720 V, respectively.
