Let's talk about the details
The 27 km long LHC accelerator tunnel
LHC test stand for 15 m dipole magnets
LHC magnet test set-up
LHC magnet junction point
A cross-section through the dipole magnet for the two oppositely directed beams.
The superconducting dipole magnet in a more detailed view.The magnet is kept at a temperature
of -271°C by means of liquid helium to achieve the superconduction state of the coil wires.
All is under high vacuum. The vacuum is by one magnitude of order better than on the moon. 
13 kA power connector for the magnet. A special challenge is the temperature gradient fom -271°C to +20°C.
400 MHz radiofrequency cavity. RF cavities accelerate particles and keep them in controlled bunches.
The RF waves are generated by high power klystrons and are supplied by wave guides to the cavities.
