TL;DR Summary: experiments you would do if you had unconditional free access to a full scale particle accelerator

Basically, I've become more interested in particle physics and accelerators, but I was just wondering what kind of experiments could be done with one if you had one. I've seen the general experiments and the ones that have already been done but I'm looking for new and unique ideas. No particular reason just curious.

Cheers

Thread 'Why is there such a difference between the total cross-section data? (simulation vs. experiment)'

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...
