The probability of these particular particles in these particular collisions is very small. So we need to do a lot of collisions in order to have a statistically significant signal. > but the "camera" has limitations? Sure. While we regularly upgrade our detectors or build newer, fancier ones, there will always be some limitations. > but measurement interpretation inefficient? It's certainly slow. It can take months/years to infer a result from the data. The major bottleneck is people. Even the thousands-strong armies of physicists who work on the LHC experiments would take decades to fully exploit the available datasets. |
