I think this new accelerator will add nothing to our understanding of the world of mind, the world of our experiences. These things are just not a part of physical science. For example, there are a lot of physicist's theories about dimensions. But these are only mathematical concepts based upon objective observations of physical matter. It has nothing to do with dimensions as a term for varieties of consciousness states/places (except for the basic language connection). At least so far, I can't see a clear bond between contemporary opinions and theories about the human consciousness (or more correct, about us), such as are discussed here on this site, and contemporary physics. The only thing is that quantum physics clearly shows that there can be observations made which are not explainable through the common terms of time and space. So, through this the old mechanistic view definitely is dead, but that's about all.
Sorry for being that pessimistic, but I think it's better to point out early enough that physical science, as it is now, isn't the right track for further insights in our own greater reality and destiny. This track may even be misleading, as it focuses great amounts of money and attention on it, drawing it away from those things like meditation and philosophical thinking for example.
Sciences of nature in general undoubtly have contributed and will contribute to our understanding of the world we live in, but more in a technical sense, which yet sometimes can have the effect to destroy some dusty belief systems, which I of course welcome. But a more extreme impact than in quantum mechanics already is shown I can't imagine.
