- mkl 3y agoIt's 10 Tesla magnets that are called ridiculous. The paper also requires 1000 TeV, not 100.
- lom 3y agoOh, blame my reading comprehension skills then
- Animats 3y agoCurrent record for magnets: 45 teslas.
- rcxdude 3y agoThere's more than just raw strength that goes into making magnets for a collider. It's the combination of strength, uniformity, and enclosed volume which makes things difficult.
- mkl 3y agoThey need enough for 1000km of accelerator though. LHC has 10,000 superconducting magnets for 26.7km (some can temporarily go up to 7.7 Tesla).
- pmontra 3y agoThe energy in the paper is 1000 TeV, ten times as much.
