Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
I love how clever most of the answers sound, even if they don't agree with each other much at all.

With those amounts of energy, the actual mass doesn't matter that much. You mean the rest mass? Obviously. I wonder if your hand would get pierced or if all particles interact with your hand. If I had to guess, I'd say the latter one, because the cross section of your hand for massive particles should be 1.

Well you can make an exit "pipe" that lets some of the packets fly straight, and not get dragged into the ring. (turning off the magnets in a pulse, or using a second magnet) If you put the hand onto the exit-pipe, it should keep the air long enough outside the vacuum tube to have an effect. its the whole idea to first accelerate particles, and then let them fly outside of the accelerator ring. http://www.lls.cells.es/AboutUs/WhatIs
