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.

Efforts to get the Large Hadron Collider up and running just encountered a temporary snag, according to yesterday's online edition of The Times of London. A crusty chunk of bread “paralysed a high voltage installation that should have been powering the cooling unit.”
