I've been to the particle accelerator at CERN and I hate to break it, but it's so long that from the inside it appears straight! its also underground, and does not accelerae particles to the speed of light, it accelerated them to 60 - 80% of the speed of light. At CERN there are also a number of rings, clouds of hadrons are accelerated to a high speed then passed into a larger tunnel, where they are accelerated to still higher speeds, and so on.
