layman's question: how can it be ruled out that these events result from bounce particles or decay particles of the standard model?

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by bounce particles, but I think the answer is probably that at these highly relativistic energies, particles don't really bounce (what would they decay off of) or decay backwards (in the lab frame).
