The LHC machine 2001 The LHC will enable the study of proton-proton and ion-ion collisions. The existing chain of injectors (LINAC, booster, PS, SPS) will provide the necessary particles.<P> The LHC superconducting magnets will generate the highest magnetic fields ever reached in an accelerator of this scale. The dipoles and quadrupoles will be interconnected so as to form a continuous cryogenic "pipe" installed in the 27 km-long LEP/LHC tunnel with its separate cryoline. The superconducting RF accelerating cavities, along with the beam cleaning and beam dump systems, will complete the machine. POSTER

The LHC 2002 <!--HTML-->The <b>LHC</b> will use the latest technologies on an enormous scale. 8000 superconducting magnets will keep the beams on track. The entire <b>27 km ring</b> will be cooled by 700 000 litres of liquid helium to a temperature of -271 degrees Celsius , making the LHC <b>the world's largest superconducting installation</b>. Conventional superconducting wire will form the magnet coils, while high-temperature superconductors will carry a total of 2 300 000 amperes from the power supplies into the magnet cryostat POSTER
