LHC and the Earth's Magnetic Field

psmarz

I was curious as to whether or not there is potential for the magnetic field generated by the LHC to affect the Earth's magnetic field...

The magnetic field of the LHC is very strong *inside* a small volume where the beams circulate, but is rather negligible outside. I tried to find some sources, but didn't find any.

lol same...and I was thinking the same but seeing how I could not find anything I figured I would ask.

The LHC's magnets are only about 8.5T - you can get twice that in large lab NMR machines.
The record for a sustained field is around 35T you can get about 100T pulse with an exploding system.

Thank you.
