In particle physics, Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) is the usual name for a hypothetical future hadron collider with performance significantly beyond the Large Hadron Collider. Given that such a performance increase necessitates a correspondingly large increase in size and cost, it is unlikely that such a machine will be built for a number of decades at least.
