Superconducting

Superconducting magnets can produce intense magnetic fields.

Multifilamentary superconducting wires can be used in electric power transmission lines.

Superconducting magnets can be used for the levitation of high-speed trains.

The beams that are injected into the LHC will travel through a vacuum guided by superconducting magnets operating at extremely cold temperatures near absolute zero. Each beam will consist of nearly 3,000 bunches, with each bunch containing as many as 100 billion particles. When head-on collisions occur, they will produce a shower of new particles. But the most interesting new particles will be very rare events.
