A custom-designed magnet/cryostat system is described which has demonstrated remarkably improved field stability over previous designs. To shield from external magnetic noise, a custom-fabricated flux-gate device remotely senses the changes in magnetic field and cancels them out at the site of the magnet/cryostat via a 1.7-m-diam Helmholtz coil. To provide further shielding, the basic superconducting solenoid includes a passive flux-stabilizing coil. To stabilize internal field shifts, the temperature of the materials in the immediate vicinity of the solenoid (which have a temperature-dependent susceptibility) is stabilized via the new cryostat geometry and by controlling the pressure of the evaporating liquid helium to a few parts per million. As a result, the total system now has a composite shielding factor of approximately 104 and an overall temporal stability on the order of 17(2) parts in 1012 per hour. This instrument, the heart of our new Penning trap mass spectrometer, has recently been used to d...
