Operating principle. Charged particles passing through a uniform solenoidal magnetic field follow curved paths in a plane perpendicular to the field. Silicon pixels and strips record spatial hit positions; pattern recognition and track fitting reconstruct momentum.
Textbook equation. For a singly charged particle: pₜ [GeV/c] = 0.299792458 × B [T] × R [m]. Equivalently R = pₜ/(0.299792458 × B).
Exact geometry. For a chord of length L, sagitta s = R − √(R² − (L/2)²), and central angle θ = 2 asin(L/(2R)). These textbook circle formulas assume L ≤ 2R, which all selectable values satisfy.
Independent check. The displayed engine radius is evaluated using an SI charge/momentum conversion route. The algebraic check separately applies the textbook coefficient above. Both are compared numerically.
Genuine scientific features: Silicon tracking modules, material supports, cooling circuits, readout services, beam vacuum envelope, and solenoidal-field curvature are real detector concepts.
Engineering-inspired reconstruction: The arrangement, dimensions, structural details, installation layout and original model designation are fictional and scaled for visibility.
Educational simplifications: Field uniformity, hit resolution, multiple Coulomb scattering, energy loss, alignment errors and Kalman fitting are not modelled. Displayed tracks are illustrative animations, not validated detector transport.
Speculative elements: The exterior styling and specific service-pack packaging are original fictional museum-design elements.
