Not for commercial use! We're making it for publicly funded research in the future Electron-Ion Collider.
We've published a few papers on our results so far! arxiv.org/abs/2501.08586

First-Ever Deployment of a SiPM-on-Tile Calorimeter in a Collider: A Parasitic Test with 200 GeV $pp$ Collisions at RHIC
We describe the testing of a prototype SiPM-on-tile iron-scintillator calorimeter at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) during its 200 GeV $pp$ run in 2024. The prototype, measuring $20 \times...

Haha, that is a prototype particle detector designed to measure the energy of hadrons.
Uhh, if you're strong enough to pick it up, you could bludgeon someone with it?

That would be a likely result from a hard-scattering electron positron interaction, so, yes! Of course, even then there is a chance they'll just bounce off each other. It's all probabilistic.

I was thinking the engine, but I haven't been able to find many good free 3d models for it

That was the first model I used, but I think it was a bit too large in comparison
