Another major headache for Wilson was caused by debris left in the 2-in.-by-5-in. vacuum tube through which the protons travel inside the tunnel; the tube must be free of dust arid debris so that the speeding protons do not prematurely lose their energy in accidental collisions. Trouble was, workmen who removed the magnets left behind metal chips and other stray objects that fouled the tube.
