The largest linac in the world, at Stanford University, is 3.2 km (2 mi) long. It is capable of accelerating electrons to an energy of 50 GeV (50 billion, or giga, electron volts). Stanford's linac is designed to collide two beams of particles accelerated on different tracks of the accelerator.

27km in a tunnel on the border between France and Switzerland stopped in 2000.
27km by the same company planned to be built in 2007.

Is it not in Switzerland, at the CERN facility? That was a few years ago, mind, may be another bigger one somewhere out there...
