Proton collision C014 / 1808
Particle tracks from a proton-proton collision seen by the ATLAS (a toroidal LHC apparatus) detector at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. The detector is seen end-on here, with various elements shaded. The blue rectangles are the muon chambers. Before the collision the ions had been accelerated to 7 TeV (tera electron volts) by the large hadron collider (LHC). The collision produced a J/psi meson. The particle was not seen, but is revealed through its decay products; a pair of muons (yellow lines) and a photon (yellow and green blocks between the muon lines)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a proton-proton collision captured by the ATLAS detector at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. The image provides a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of particle physics and cosmology. The photograph depicts the end-on view of the ATLAS detector, with different elements shaded to highlight their significance. The blue rectangles represent muon chambers, crucial components for detecting particles called muons. Prior to this collision, protons were accelerated to an astounding 7 TeV using the powerful Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Although not directly visible in this image, the collision resulted in the creation of a J/psi meson - an elusive particle that can only be observed through its decay products. In this case, those decay products are depicted as yellow lines representing a pair of muons and yellow-green blocks symbolizing a photon located between them. The complexity and precision required to capture such events is truly awe-inspiring. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of understanding fundamental particles and unraveling mysteries about matter and our universe. ATLAS EXPERIMENT's contribution to scientific research at CERN has been invaluable in advancing our knowledge of particle physics. This print from Science Photo Library allows us all to marvel at these groundbreaking experiments conducted on humanity's quest for discovery.
