Re:Did the W-boson just “break the standard model”? by jcranmer on Saturday April 30, 2022 @01:06PM (#31217433)
Proton decay experiments? Magnetic monopole searches?

Providing better bounds on the (non-)existence of phenomena predicted by existing non-Standard Model particle physics theories sounds like a worthwhile endeavor rather than praying that particle accelerators will maybe uncover a particle if you give it just a little bit more juice.

What's the difference to new particles predicted by BSM theories you might uncover if you give it just a little bit more juice? Especially if you measure a ton of other things at the same time?
