Description: | Section cut from a spare 15m long 'beam screen' for CERN�s Large Hadron Collider, 2001. Particles in the collider travel in two pipes surrounded by superconducting magnets. The beams travel inside screens like these, kept at a temperature of 5K, so that the magnets are shielded from the radiation of the intense proton beam. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | beam screen large hadron collider | Temporal: | 2001 | Source: | Science Museum | Identifier: | 2009-39 | Go to resource |
