charged particles through magnetic field

I have a question that I want to verify , so that i know is my understanding about how the LHC works.
So basically there is this charged particle being thrown into a huge lone tube consisting of superconducting magnet rings and while each of the magnet rings has it's magnetic field traveling around a circle the particle going perpendiculary through many of those gets it's boost more and more and then in the end when two of these tubes with particles traveling through them get together from opposite sides the particle speeds are great enough so that a collision reveals new particles at certain energy's , I guess depending on how fast they were accelerated.

So it's basically a huge Coil gun and the particle is the metal thing or bullet traveling through that gun being kicked by the magnetic fields so that it takes up speed and so has more energy in the end when there is a collision?

Thanks for answers.
