Joachim-Franz Schmidt, head of production at the rolling mill, holds the Heraeus-made component of the roll-plated ribbon (right) and a beam screen tube for the Large Hadron Collider. Heraeus gave the specially produced steel a copper coating of just a few micrometers thickness and, using a profile extrusion line, its saw-tooth texture. The saw teeth reflect the radiation that is set free in the particle collisions of the later experiments (Photo: Heraeus)
