Original Abstract Submitted

A magnet arrangement method capable of easily assembling magnets is provided. A magnet arrangement method according to one aspect of the present invention is a magnet arrangement method for arranging a plurality of magnetized magnets in a Halbach array, the method comprising: a process of forming a first magnet group by combining magnets in such a way that a direction of a magnetic force that acts on the magnets is oriented in a first direction; a process of forming a second magnet group by combining magnets in such a way that the direction of a magnetic force that acts on the magnets is oriented in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction; and a process of assembling a plurality of the first magnet groups and a plurality of the second magnet groups.
