Not so fast! It's hardly so simple as just putting an unknown physics experiment next to a valuable detector. No one would be foolish enough to risk the trying to catch the unknown in such a rare net of the known without some preliminary tests. I once was lent a very sophisticated detector to study my mischugenon producing technology which is very very similar to Holmlid's tech. But minutes before testing I had second thoughts. Instead of forging ahead I spent some hours talking over the test and possibilities once again with the builders of the instrument who had been so gracious as to loan it to me. We collectively decided that if indeed what my data had shown in previous instruments were repeated it was very likely it would cause instantaneous irreparable damage to the instrument as clearly the 'mischugenon's' behaved somewhat like neutrons which if even a trace were present might produce neutron activation. Even the slightest creation of activated species would give a signal for the history books but forever ruin the detector. Alas my budget was many orders of magnitude away from being able to pay for such damage. Even though I was one flip of a switch away I never threw that switch. Ces't la vie.
