Why did I never think of this? That's awesome. I guess I thought they all just kind of ... went into the detectors and the detectors ate them or they became other, exotic particles which the detectors detected and then they vanished in a burst of E=mc^2 energy or something.
I've been thinking about an unusual kind of garbage problem. When the Large Hadron Collider shuts down, all those high-speed particles have to go somewhere.
This is where: An 8-meter-long radioactive graphite trash can, called a beam dump.
