Bose–Einstein condensate and Hadron Collider

Just out of curiosity I was wondering what would happen if a Bose-Einstein condensate were placed in a Hadron Collider.

Is it even possible?
 

Discussion

What are you condensing to form the condensate? Whatever it is, you'd expect the same reactions happen whether it's condensed or not.
 
It wouldn't stay condensed very long. Only charged particles can be accelerated, not chunks of solids, nor drops of liquid.
