* The [[zombie apocalypse]] novel ''[[The Rising (Keene novel)|The Rising]]'' by the American author [[Brian Keene]] referenced the media concerns of activating the RHIC raised by the article in ''[[The Sunday Times]]'' of July 18, 1999, by J. Leake.<ref name="JLeake18July1999" />  As revealed very early in the story, side effects of the collider experiments of the RHIC (located at "Havenbrook National Laboratories") were the cause of the zombie uprising in the novel and its sequel ''[[City of the Dead (novel)|City of the Dead]]''.
