Yes. The LHC has a beam dump off to the side, tonnes of concrete and steel buried underground, specifically for the purpose of dissipating the entire beam energy if needed. It's about the same as the kinetic energy of an aircraft carrier stopping from speed: https://lhc-machine-outreach.web.cern.ch/lhc-machine-outreach/components/beam-dump.htm https://lhc-machine-outreach.web.cern.ch/lhc-machine-outreac... http://lhc-machine-outreach.web.cern.ch/lhc-machine-outreach/beam.htm http://lhc-machine-outreach.web.cern.ch/lhc-machine-outreach...
