Hadron collider

A hadron collider is a very large particle accelerator built to test the predictions of various theories in particle physics, high-energy physics or nuclear physics by colliding hadrons. A hadron collider uses tunnels to accelerate, store, and collide two particle beams.

Colliders

Only a few hadron colliders have been built. These are:

gollark: Well, at GTech™ GTechnological GTechnologies™, we would simply make ctypes for lua.
gollark: Oh, and also zygohistomorphic prepromorphisms.
gollark: Haskell is easy, just remember that a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors.
gollark: Use OCaml.
gollark: Fortunately, most of the resulting 10^33J of apiolectromagnetically released energy was directed at things nobody likes.
