  2. Design Considerations • The magnetic field uniformity inside the collection volume has to be 510-4. • 3He spin relaxation time has to be bigger than 10000 seconds inside the collection volume. The loading and transfer time of 3He from the ABS source to the collection volume is less than 2000 seconds. • 3. The loss in the polarization of 3He from ABS source to measurement cells can be minimized if the field changes adiabatically in any point along the 3He path.

  10. Conclusions • For the upper cryostat we have considered a system of N=24 coils (with current I1) and M=8 coils (with current I2) coils ( with radius R=20 cm and length L=134 cm). The M=8 coils overlap some of the N=24 coils. • The magnetic shield (R=21 cm, L=136 cm) has two gaps (12 cm wide, and 60.6 cm long). • In the presence of the transport solenoid (with a current 45.3 mA) the field inside the collection volume is asymmetric along OX and OZ. To eliminate the asymmetry along the OZ axis, the length of the two gaps is decreased to 60.6 cm and the Z coordinate of their center is moved to +2 cm. • For the optimum currents I8=25 mA and I1=14.7 mA through the M=8 coils and N=24 coils (with K=-0.03) the relaxation times T1 and T2 are bigger than 5·104 seconds (if the temperature in the collection volume is T<0.5 K).
