The current research, definitely in the holy shit phase for the time being. Particle physics from 70 years ago now has practical applications, in particular in medicine. The immediate practical applications of LHC physics only come from the huge hightech know-how that was gained building it. The most famous collateral benefit from cern is the WWW.
