I'm writing a short story set at the Large Hadron Collider. Do we have anyone on MR who's been on-site at the Collider, or has had a research project run there? I'd love to swap a couple of PMs and make sure I've got my facts straight...

Hmm. Have you read "Einstein's Bridge" by John Cramer? set in (what should have been) the SuperCollider in Texas. Cramer would have been involved in both design and operation had it actually have been built. I also like his first novel, "Twistor", which makes holes in the University of Washington campus. (I managed to escape UW without taking a physics course from Dr Cramer, but only because the stupid admin kept putting me back in a different section.)
Einstein's Bridge describes the SCSC design pretty well.
