None? Particles accelerators are capable of generating terrific energy, but it is highly managed and contained. The only way for the particles to get "off-track" would be if the magnetic track failed, in which case you'd just have a very fast-moving proton, not unlike the millions that the sun throws out at us every second. Concievably, though, the electrical drain of firing up the accelerators could accidentally cause damage to the electrical grid, but it's not likely.

Well, i suppose they might create a microsingularity that manages to absorb so much mass when it happens that it doesn't instantly evaporate, which then goes on to consume the entire planet.
But that's highly unlikely, if not impossible. And they'll need the LHC to do it, which won't be operational for another year.
