and reaching 30 GeV proton energy, yet with a less massive magnet ring. For comparison, the circulating beams in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) reach energies nearly 11,000 times greater than those in the Bevatron, with vastly higher intensities. Despite this, they are confined to a cross-sectional area of about 1 mm and are focused to just 16 micrometres at collision points, while the bending magnet fields are only about five times stronger.

The demolition of the Bevatron began in 2009
