Well, the collider is located in a 27 kilometer long circular tunnel 100 meters under ground. I'm pretty sure that more than a bit of rock crushing occurred when it was dug out in the 80s.

Yikes! In my novel, the evil mage has his collider on a table in his laboratory. will that be a problem?
It depends on how much energy you need. If electron pair creation is all you need, a desktop device with tech from 1950 is enough. If you need to make Higgs bosons which requires almost a million times more juice and the like it's more difficult to achieve in a small device. In that case you can read a bit about wakefield acceleration, it can reach huge energies on short distances.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
