Fig. 6.3 Schematic longitudinal cut-away views of (top) the ATLAS and (bottom) the CMS
detectors, showing the different layers around the LHC beam axis, with the collision point in the
centre
superconductor cable, in eight separate barrel coils (each 25 × 5 m 2 in a ‘racetrack’
shape) and two matching endcap toroid systems. A field of ~0.5 Tesla is generated
over a large volume. The toroids are complemented with a thin superconducting
central solenoid (2.4 m diameter, 5.3 m length) that provides an axial magnetic field
of 2 Tesla.
