The other is to use a powerful
quadrupole magnet to disperse the beam.
And there was a display with the piece called the bus bar, a superconducting cable that connects a dipole magnet that guides the beams around the ring to
a quadrupole magnet that focuses the beams for a collision; splices that hold the cable together were the culprit in the LHC mishap.
These include 1232 dipole magnets 15 metres in length which bend the beams, and 392
quadrupole magnets, each 5 — 7 metres long, which focus the beams.

magnets (14
quadrupole and 39 dipole) have been replaced in the sector of the tunnel where the incident occurred.
