Magnetic fields generated within this structure will reach levels greater than any other magnet of this kind and will store enough energy to melt 18 tonnes of gold. Within the yoke is positioned the external vacuum chamber into which the solenoid will be placed.2002-10-10http://cds.cern.ch/record/43475http://cds.cern.ch/record/43475oai:cds.cern.ch:43475 ALICELayout of the ALICE detectorExperiments and TracksCERN-EX-0306066This computer-simulated view of the ALICE detector shows the framework that will be used to hold the detector in place. Located within the huge solenoid used for the previous L3 experiment at LEP, which closed in 2000, the new LHC experiment will observe the collisions of lead nuclei. It is hoped that these collisions will produce a new state of matter known as 'quark-gluon plasma' that may not have existed since the Big Bang.2003-06-27http://cds.cern.ch/record/626265http://cds.cern.ch/record/626265oai:cds.cern.ch:626265 Layout of the ALICE detectorExperiments and TracksCERN-EX-0307012The ALICE experiment will study the collisions of beams of lead nuclei in an attempt to produce a new state of matter known as 'quark-gluon plasma'. The barrel of the detector will be housed in the solenoid that once contained the L3 experiment when LEP was in operation at CERN, between 1989 and 2000. Outside of the solenoid, a dipole magnet will bend the path of charged particles called muons, allowing their momenta to be measured.2003-07-10http://cds.cern.ch/record/627595http://cds.cern.ch/record/627595oai:cds.cern.ch:627595 ENGAC TeamThe four main LHC experimentsAcceleratorsCERN-AC-9906026This diagram shows the locations of the four main experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) that will take place at the LHC. Located between 50 m and 150 m underground, huge caverns have been excavated to house the giant detectors. The SPS, the final link in the pre-acceleration chain, and its connection tunnels to the LHC are also shown.1999http://cds.cern.ch/record/40525http://cds.cern.ch/record/40525oai:cds.cern.ch:40525 ENGLaurent GuiraudAerial view of Point 5 (CMS) in Cessy (France)Sites and Aerial ViewsCERN-SI-0005041Aerial view of the surface buildings at Cessy, France for the CMS experiment at CERN's LHC collider.
