They already exist. Just wrangle a couple of neutron stars and put them next to each other. Bada Bing Bada Boom, Bob’s your uncle

They’re doing it all wrong. They need to build it in space.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Can make it as big as you want and no need to dig out the earth. Just a few “acceleration rings” and then the detector. I guess if it were feasible right now we’d be doing that though.

Everyone underestimates how HEAVY the collider is, how often sensor modules need to be changed and mainly that the ring is just one part of the entire group of big buildings you need for this.
You need to create different beams of different makeup from different sources, different loops to make the beam hit sonething and maybe return the products into the loop, you need extensive sensory equipment where the collision happens and different sensors for different experiments.
It is just SOOOO much cheaper, easier and better to build it underground instead of in space.

I didnt underestimate anything. I was taking the mick
Having said that, the ISS didnt go up in one part, did it. Though there might be problems with cosmic rays and co interfering with the accuracy, etc.
