If the Hadron Collider is going to recreate the big bang, does that mean a mini galaxy will be created?

In simpler words, the reason being that LHC experiment won't have the "environment" and time required for forming a galaxy. It took billions of years under high pressure/temperature/energy to get to a stage where a galaxy could be formed (All the gases, mass, etc.). LHC experiment is not going to have everything needed for that. At least, not according to the conventional definition of galaxy. It is, however, highly possible that after seeing the results of LHC experiment scientist may rethink a few definitions. That is my hope, at least.
Hope this helped.

In the case of the LHC we are dealing with tiny amounts of mass and relatively tiny amounts of energy. The experiment will be successful if the two particles of mass annihilate each other for a plit second before the energy they create (not really create, but that they are converted into) return into mass particles.
The book I am reading, "The Elegant Universe" covers some of these questions in the context of superstring theory.

It has long been known that breaking up particles like atoms into their consituent parts like protons and neutrons releases energy. It has been speculated that matter can be formed from energy in some sort of reverse format. Matter has been formed from energy, but only in matter/antimatter pairs which usually immediately recombine and anhilate each other into energy again.
The LHC is trying to recreate conditions shortly after the Big Bang. That does not mean there will be enough energy or matter to form a galaxy, even a mini one. Some have theorized that it could create a mini black hole and destroy the solar system, but that is more science fiction than science. The LHC will only be smashing particles into each other, and then analyzing what particles and energy are released in the next few microseconds.
I hope this helps.
