== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* "Saturn Ring" system in ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' was an accelerator on the scale of [[Real Life]] colliders. It was supposed to destroy [[Reality Is Out to Lunch|Gates]] along with [[Alien Sky|everything]] and [[Differently-Powered Individual|everyone]] linked to them. Or at least one quite competent [[Mad Scientist]] is quite sure it should, anyway. There was some commotion when the news about this leaked out, of course. Note that the tunnels around the storage ring are evacuated -- as far as people on whom "workplace safety" extends are concerned. {{spoiler|And that the damaged tube looks like it's under some heavy fire even when no one hits it anymore.}}

* The plot in [[Steins Gate]] is based around the idea that the Large Haldron Collider is going to be used in some way to destroy or take over or *something* the world.

* While the actual LHC and similar devices are nowhere in sight, [[Tsutomu Nihei]]'s ''[[Knights Of Sidonia]]'' has most of the [[Applied Phlebotinum]] fueled by Higgs Bosons and the [[Humongous Mecha]] can perform power boosting combination maneuvers by linking arms together to form a ring, invoking the shape of a toroidal accelerator.

* ''[[G.I. Joe ~~the~~ Rise of Cobra]]'' has a [[No Communities Were Harmed|No Hadron Colliders Were Harmed]] version of the LHC, close enough to Paris that [[Eiffel Tower Effect|the Eiffel Tower is clearly visible]]. It's also apparently owned and run by a single rich, snooty man and, once he's taken hostage, Cobra is free to use it to activate their stolen nanoweapons.

* ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' has portable versions. It's possible to build such a device but they wouldn't act like the ones shown.

* The ''[[~~Torchwood (TV)|~~Torchwood]]'' radio play "Lost Souls", written to celebrate the launch of the LHC, has an alien soul-stealer living in the tunnels of the Collider, let in by a rip in the universe caused by the accelerator. [[Reverse Polarity|Reversing the polarity]] of the beams conveniently destroys the beast ''and'' reveals the Higgs Boson.

** The monster is a definite case of [[You Fail Physics Forever]]. It steals all your neutrons!

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Writing in "LHC" (or [[For Science!|"SCIENCE"]]) in ''[[Scribblenauts]]'' is one of several ways of [[Kill'Em All|killing everyone on the screen. Including yourself]].

* In ''[[Another World (~~Video~~ ~~Game~~)|Another World]]'', Lester gets transported to the titular other world when [[Lightning Can Do Anything]] strikes the particle accelerator while he's running an experiment.
