    This is a big part of why the LHC experiment is so expensive. Turns out that equipment that exists to create high energy collisions (and as a product a lot of spicy radiation) goes brittle or the sensors go dark pretty quickly and need to be replaced a lot. I did sim work on a replacement detector setup for the experiment back in undergrad and the lions share of my simulations were showing how the crystals would perform at various levels of degradation
