RE: The future of particle physics - from the Large Hadron Collider to future circular colliders
The extra distance allows us to accelerate the particles further.
The LHC will act as a pre-accelerator and the beam will then be injected in the new ring where the kinetic energy of the particle is expected to be multiplied by 7.
If this new ring is ever built of course (let's hope) :)
