Hate to break the news to them, but CERN is in Switzerland, while the eclipse is on the OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANET.

Even the antipode of Switzerland (New Zealand) is nowhere near the path of the solar eclipse.

Goofy.

The particles they are looking for will pass thru the earth easily it’s not just the folks viewing the eclipse...lol

I hate to break it to you but if you'd read the article you'd have known the timing of of the running of the LHC with the eclipse is purely coincidental.
