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.
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.
The other is to use a powerful
quadrupole magnet to disperse the beam.
