We are in the planning stages of installing a 500 MHz high-resolution NMR.
Our installation is planned for the second floor. The concern I want to address
in this mail message relates to shielding the vertical stray magnetic field
from an office area on the first floor. We estimate that the 5 G line will
cross a person standing below the magnet in the upper chest, neck and head
region. Does anyone have any experience in shielding stray magnetic fields
with metal plates? Are there reasonable methods available to accomplish the
shielding or at least significantly reduce the stray fields?

If you will respond to me directly, I will summarize the comments and send
them back out.

Thanks
