Higgs Boson Decay
Higgs bosons decay into other particles almost instantly after they are
produced, so we only see the products of the decay. The most common decays
(among those we are capable of seeing) are those to:
Cherenkov Radiation
What is Cherenkov radiation, also known as Vavilov–Cherenkov radiation, is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. The characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor is due to Cherenkov radiation. It is named after Soviet scientist Pavel Alekseyevich Cherenkov, the 1958 Nobel Prize winner who was the first to detect it experimentally.

It is possible that the neutrino and antineutrino are in fact the same particle, a hypothesis first proposed by the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana. The neutrino could transform into an antineutrino and vice versa by flipping the orientation of its spin state
