Pulsar star. The neutron star retains most of its angular momentum, and since it has only a tiny fraction of its progenitor's radius (and therefore its moment of inertia is sharply reduced), it is formed with very high rotation speed. A beam of radiation is emitted along the magnetic axis of the pulsar, which spins along with the rotation of the neutron star. The magnetic axis of the pulsar determines the direction of the electromagnetic beam, with the magnetic axis not necessarily being the same as its rotational axis. This misalignment causes the beam to be seen once for every rotation
Beam dump also be issues. Considerable quantities of material may be put around the beam dump, especially "downstream" of the beam dump, to serve as radiation shielding. Also, the beam may be carefully not aimed at anything critical (such as people or particle detectors), and angled down into the earth before it hits the beam dump, so that soil serves as a radiation shield. The most challenging beam dump design to date is that of the Large Hadron Collider. Each of the two beam dumps, in case, for instance, of a dipole magnet quench, must be able to dissipate 362 MJ (approximately
