Low tech experiment may result in a new understanding of neutrinos being their own anti-particle (something usually reserved for bosons) and move beyond the Standard Model.

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), physicists accelerate particles to the highest energies and in the greatest numbers that humanity has ever achieved. We smash them together at greater than 99.999999% the speed of light, attempting to create new, never-before-seen particles and solve the Universe's greatest, most fundamental mysteries. Despite discovering the Higgs boson and creating millions of these collisions every second for years, it's never found anything that's taken us beyond the particles and interactions of the Standard Model. But a completely different, mundane approach has the potential to do exactly that: simply gather a large number of radioactive, unstable particles together inside a detector, and wait. If a new type of decay occurs, it will revolutionize how we understand neutrinos, taking us beyond the Standard Model in an elegant, surprising, and long-anticipated way.
