Very Large Hadron Collider
- Very Large Hadron Collider
:"Not to be confused with the Large Hadron Collider and its upgrade, the Super Large Hadron Collider."The Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) is a name for a hypothetical future hadron collider with performance significantly beyond the Large Hadron Collider.[cite web |url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B00E0D61038F933A25754C0A9679C8B63 |title=Physicists Unite, Sort of, on Next Collider - New York Times |format= |work= |accessdate=] ]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 and cost, a significant amount of international collaboration over the period of decades would be required to construct such a collider.
