What, really? What's with all those mega photos we see everywhere ?
- Analemma_ 9y agoMost of that is the magnets around the beam tube, with the associated power and refrigeration equipment. The beam tube itself is quite small.
- konschubert 9y agoThose are the detectors. And the magnets around the tubes.
- delecti 9y agoThis picture shows a cross section of part of the LHC. Those two yellow lines sticking out are the actual tubes. Everything else is equipment to manage the particles (detectors, containment, magnetic propulsion). And for a sense of scale, a human can comfortably stand in that tunnel next to it.
