✦ Synopsis

A method was developed to calculate the magnetic field of superconducting magnets with a computer, type ODRA 1304. This programme calculates the magnetic field of every individual layer of the coil at any point in space, and sums them. By this process it is possible to build magnets with better homogeneity, than 10 -6 cm -1 . It guarantees two kinds of methods for realizing high homogeneity by overwinding the ends of the solenoid: both discreet coils of corrections and corrections of different continuous shape, The numerical results for the three experimentally examined magnets (cylindrical solenoid, Helmholtz's coil and corrected solenoid) are in close agreement with the theory.
