How does the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) work?

I respond very briefly - I invite experts in the field to correct me or add information. It is a particle accelerator that typically accelerates protons (in general, ions/adrons) to speeds practically equal to that of light with the aim of colliding two of these particles at this speed against each other, in a very violent impact. This creates enormous energies that are capable of creating, through well-known mechanisms of particle physics, extremely high-energy phenomena, producing byproducts that depend either solely on strong interaction or on interactions with particles that are never noticed in everyday life. With these devices, it has been possible to demonstrate the existence of the Higgs boson, as well as to confirm the theory of quantum chromodynamics, both well-known theories in the scientific paradigm. It's as if there were two quantum gunmen shooting at each other from a great distance, and the two bullets meet halfway in a violent collision, generating a swarm of bullets and quantum phenomena. In the LHC, it's the same, and the study of these products allows us to continuously discover new things (confirming or disproving the currently accepted theories).
