Ah, after looking at your link, it appears to be the power that is striking the target. Come talk to me when you have an injection power that high  |
The beam is at full power before it reaches the ring, so our "injection" point is essentially 1 MW. Our "ring" is not a cyclotron, it merely accumulates protons and chops them into pulses before they are extracted and sent to the target. Now, if you're talking about our ion source (the "front end" in the above picture) then, no, we're no where near 1 MW.
As for the LHC, we actually had some similar problems to what they experienced and some folks from here went over and helped them out with their magnet issues.
