You probably mean Large Hadron Collider. It is a particle accelerator (biggest in the world) at CERN in Switzerland. It is designed to accelerate nuclei of heavy atoms and collide them to study high energy reactions and see if new unknown subatomic particles can be discovered. Hadrons are the class of particles including protons, neutrons, and mesons. Large refers to the size of the machine, not the size of the hadrons. The first particle they hope to find is the "Higgs Boson", which according to some new theories determines the mass of all other subatomic particles.
