End of magnet for Large Hadron Collider

Magnet for the Large Hadron Collider. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the new accelerator for CERN, the European particle physics laboratory at Geneva. This is an end-on view of one of the cylindrical bending magnets. A test cable is seen inserted into one of the twin beam pipes down which bunches of protons or heavy ions will be accelerated in opposite directions at very close to the speed of light. The beam pipes are encased in a cryostat jacket which will be cooled to 1. 8 degrees Kelvin using liquid helium. This allows superconducting wire to be used, making possible the very strong magnetic fields needed to bend the proton beams around the LHC's 27-km circumference

Young girl with fever has oral temperature taken

MODEL RELEASED. Measuring oral temperature. Feverish young girl with a thermometer in her mouth looks up at her mother. After a few minutes the thermometer will register the correct temperature. Fever, also known as pyrexia, is defined as a body temperature above 37 degrees celsius if measured in the mouth. Most fevers are caused by bacterial or viral infections and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as shivering, sweating, thirst and hot skin
