Cooling down the magnets, ~2 months until we start colliding again.

you ever wish that we could build a collider in deep space somewhere so you'd never have to worry about it getting too warm

also you could make it really big

i wrote a short story about a "circum-lunar"collider when i was in high school but that was perhaps unfeasably large

god drat i love science

but i mean like is it easier with a ~30 degree temperature differential rather than a ~300 degree one

although the earth has the advantage of working like a honking big heat sink

it's really hard to get rid of heat in space, since there's no air you can only ditch it by radiation

Chance of opening a hole to hell is zero, so there's no protocol for handling it. The actual safety system for the LHC is nuts though. If the beam becomes unstable for any reason, it needs to be gotten rid of quickly.



The beam holds ~350 megajoules at nominal fill and that will wreck your poo poo if it goes somewhere it shouldn't. The solution is a 7m long segmented carbon cylinder of 70cm diameter, contained in a steel cylinder, comprising the dump core. This is water cooled, and surrounded by about 750 tonnes of concrete and iron shielding.



When any of the several thousand redundant safety interlocks and sensors around the ring trips, the beam is kicked out onto the dump. Even then it would burn a nice hole through the core if nothing else was done: It has to be defocussed first and is drawn across the face of the core in an 'e' shape to dissipate the heat evenly. This is what it looks like as it gets to the dump:
