The Large Hadron Collider is a particle accelerator and collider located at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. It is currently under construction, but nearing completion.
The LHC is expected to become the world's largest and highest energy particle accelerator. Over 2000 physicists have worked on the development and planning of the hadron collider.
The hadron collider is in a 17 mile long tunnel located underground.
Some people are beginning to think that:The Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, just cannot catch a break. First, a coolant leak destroyed some of the magnets that guide the energy beam. Then LHC officials postponed the restart of the machine to add additional safety features. Now, a bird dropping a piece of bread on a section of the accelerator has, according to the Register, shut down the whole operation...

The world’s largest particle accelerator / collider (The Large Hadron Collider, for those of you keeping score) has run into yet another setback. After being plagued by coolant leaks, faulty magnets and a host of other technical difficulties, operations have again ground to a halt. The culprit? A bird smuggling a baguette over their air [...]

One of the biggest particle accelerators in the world, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is the prized possession of European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) was hit by a piece of bread that was supposedly been dropped by a bird onto the outer surface of the accelerator. This bird attack effectively created “technical problems” [...]

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has reported that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva has been temporarily shut down due to a piece of French baguette dropped into the cooling unit, most likely from a passing bird, according to India Today. The LHC is extremely delicate, but fortunately the cooling irregularities were noticed in time to prevent major damage. The LHC has been plagued with difficulties, but is...

Earlier this week, an electrical short again sidelined the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator on the French-Swiss border. As the Register first reported, the cause of the electrical short appears to have been a baguette caught inside the machine.
CERN sources have confirmed the incident and blamed it on an errant bird. Under condition of anonymity, a CERN insider answered the Great Beyond's questions about...

The Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, has run into a few snags recently--including a major coolant leak, an arrest, and numerous delays. Now we can add a bird and a piece of bread to the list.

The Large Hadron Collider experienced overheating problems this week after – and we’re not making this up – a bird dropped a piece of bread onto part of the machinery. According to LHC Machine Coordinator Dr Mike Lamont, “a bit of baguette on the busbars” caused temperatures in portions of the system to rise from their regular 1.9 Kelvin to almost 8 Kelvin; the LHC is not currently operational, after previous – more serious – overheating...
