Bendy Magnet

A RHIC Dipole on display outside of the Brookhaven Superconducting Magnet Laboratory.

 

RHIC is a particle collider used to collide heavy ions at relativistic speeds, hence the name Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The dipole magnet is a key part of any synchrotron as it allows the recirculation of beam through accelerating RF Cavities. This particular magnet is a superconducting magnet operation at ~8°F above absolute zero, utilizing NbTi superconducting cable.
