====Toroid Magnets==== The outer [[toroid]]al magnetic field is produced by eight very large air-core [[superconducting]] barrel loops and two smaller end-caps air toroidal magnets, for a total of 24 barrel loops all situated outside the calorimeters and within the muon system.<ref name="TPmagnet"/> This magnetic field extends in an area 26 metres long and 20 metres in diameter, and it stores 1.6 [[gigajoule]]s of energy. Its magnetic field is not uniform, because a solenoid magnet of sufficient size would be prohibitively expensive to build. It varies between 2 and 8 Teslameters.
