The Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) is a name for a hypothetical future hadron collider with performance significantly beyond the Large Hadron Collider.
There is no planned location or schedule for the VLHC; the name is used only to discuss the technological feasibility of such a collider and ways that it might be designed.
Given that such a performance increase necessitates a correspondingly large increase in size, cost, and power requirements, a significant amount of international collaboration over a period of decades would be required to construct such a collider.
Famous quotes containing the word large:
“Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
