Right, but photons are not hadrons. They're leptons, IIRC. Hadrons are big, massive things like protons. They can be accelerated to any energy level one likes; it's only when they're collided at high speeds that black holes might get made, depending on how physics turns out to work (it's not _known_ that black holes will be produced, it's only predicted by some of the proposed theories).
