Synchrotron for fixed target collisions
Not what you're looking for?
To achieve an energy of 20TeV, each of the SSC main rings contains approximately 4000 dipole magnets, each 16m long with a field of 7T. This means that over half of the 60mile SSC tunnel is taken up by dipoles. if you were to build a single synchrotron for use in fixed-target collisions of equivalent energy in the center-of-mass (sqrt(s)=40 TeV) and use a similar magnetic design, how long would your tunnel have to be?

"Similar" magnetic design apparently means the same average top magnetic field along the ring.
If so, the particulars about the magnets do not matter, and the only essential ...
