The basic idea that came to mind is a Neutrino caught in a Loop of Space.
As usual, I then have to figure out what the Heck it means.

An already existent version of the Space-Loop is particle accelerator/collider technology.
The confinement and acceleration of particles is done by electromagnets using electric power derived from power grids and generators. The cost is huge and in Europe they are transnational projects.
This obviously means that what I am 'proposing' is already well within contemporary research reach.
What makes this not a conventional experiment is the information that I would be looking at getting from it.
As Neutrinos can (do) change their "flavour", I proposed earlier that that is a result of interaction with Space.
A loop-made-of-Space will have definable properties :- depth, length, width, circumference, even "weight".
(Space having weight is another topic.)
If Neutrinos change their flavour due to the Energy they encounter (gaining and/or losing Energy) in Space then that may not affect the Loop but if it is an interaction with Space then that would cause erosion of the Space-Loop or even expansion of it.
(As usual, the answer could be both, one-or-the-other or none-at-all. Or, maybe, an as yet unknown fourth thing that I have already mentioned elsewhere :- Virtual Particles.)
If a Loop could be isolated from Space external to it then Energy that is within the Loop would be the only thing affecting the Neutrino within it.
In a draft plot-synopsis for a reboot of the film The Black Hole, I used a Causality Free Zone around a Singularity at the heart of the blackhole to explain a loss of Energy in the area within the Inner Event Horizon. The loss of Energy in that Space meant that Light behaved oddly (and there was Time shenanigans going-on, too).
In the Loop there are a few things I would expect to happen, the most important is either the slowing of the Neutrino or stopping of the Neutrino's motion once that Energy has been used up. This presents the problem of where that Transformed/Used Energy has gone if the System is a closed-loop.
However, if the Neutrino is causing attrition of Space, then the Loop would shrink. The Neutrino would complete a circuit of the Loop faster but it would not be going faster, it is just that the distance is Shrinking.
There would come a point when there would not be enough room for the Neutrino to even vibrate at its "resting" place.
If Energy becomes concentrated in that remaining area then that brings up the Suffusion problem :- the Neutrino will not have stopped due to limited Space but due to too much Energy in that limited Space.
I would look for signs that the Neutrino is going to succumb to dissolution.
The question of remanents of particles comes up :- if Space attrition leaves substructual components, if the Neutrino breaks into Quark components, if Energy is the only remaining thing in the experimental enclosure.
In Nomansland, there are Gravity sensors which can be deployed as a cloud of penny (possibly smaller) sized units. Within them are rigid monomolecular spirals housed in Vacuum isdolated from the outside wotld :- the presence of matter outside them would affect Space and so affect the spirals in the detector.
The problem here is that the Space-Loop would be isolated from Space by a Void!
A Void, I tells ya.
The experiment depends on being able to create a void in order to isolate the Loop from external Space. The technology to create a Loop/Bubble of Space should also need to be able to create a Void by creating a region without Space in it.

The benefit of Particle Colliders is that they also have Particle Detectors.
The set-up for the Space-Loop would require it to be isolated from external Space and so this makes it isolated from Particle Detectors as well.
I have wondered if Neutrinos actually do behave exactly as Photons do when it comes to travelling in Straight Lines (in Curved Space). If they have a tendency to naturally deviate due to their Flavour Changing then they could slam into "the wall" of the Space-Loop. The same feature of traversal-alignment acquiesence of Space due to Light travelling through it may also occur with Neutrinos but my thoughts about particles-with-mass would suggest that that is not the case. Neutrinos moving through Space should be more like a Neutron moving through Space :- there is Gravitational alignment of Space due to Momentum rather than acquiesence due to Photonic directional polarisation.
((Apologies about that techy wording.))
This brings us to one of my written and blog published stories from my Not-A-Star-Trek-Yarn (NASTY) Qonos Saga, story number 4, "Crush Depths and Crash Reports" pt1.
In that story, two Qonossian kids (they're not "Klingons") experience flashes of light about them accompanying an object entering the atmosphere and crashing into the sea near them.
The local aviation authority sends an investigator who reads the report of their statements and sees that it contains mentions of swirls, arrows and symbols. The kids do not have radiation sickness.
It turns out that the symbols were from a JJAbrams era Starfleet Matter Transporter system.
The particle tracks from cloud chambers and particle detectors, and the experiences of astronauts reporting seeing flashes in their eyes while in Space, were the inspiration for that story.
- the Pay Off -
I would say that "natural" Space-Loops could also explain Spirals seen in Particle Tracks. The motion of a particle in a Loop, that is either expanding or contracting, would leave what looks to be a Spiral.
