The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest, most powerful particle accelerator: in a way it's the world's largest single machine. It consists of a 27-km ring excavated between the lake of Geneva and the Jura mountain range at an average depth of 100 m. Let's see some facts
Each of the 6000-9000 superconducting filaments of niobium-titanium coiled between them to make up the LHC cables is 0.007 mm thick, about 10 times thinner than a normal human hair. If put one after another they would stretch from the Earth to the Sun and back six times
The protons accelerated are obtained from standard hydrogen. Although proton beams are very intense (1.15x10¹¹ protons in a beam size of 3.5 micrometres), only 2 nanograms of hydrogen are accelerated each day. It would take about 1 million years to accelerate 1 gram of hydrogen.
