Bubble chamber scanner at work, Fermilab
Bubble chamber scanner Renee Jones at work at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) near Chicago, Illinois. Jones sits at a table onto which a bubble chamber photograph is projected from overhead. Her left hand is on the " tracker ball", a control which enables her to move the image in any direction. Her right hand is by a computer keyboard which she uses to call up the photographs. Her job is to measure the positions, lengths, angles & curvatures of the tracks. This data enables physicists to identify the particles that produce the tracks. (June 84)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the heart of scientific discovery at Fermilab near Chicago, Illinois. The image showcases Renee Jones, a skilled bubble chamber scanner, diligently at work in the laboratory. Seated at a table with utmost focus and precision, Jones is surrounded by cutting-edge technology that aids her in unraveling the mysteries of particle physics research. Projected from overhead onto the table is a mesmerizing bubble chamber photograph - an intricate web of tracks left behind by particles hurtling through space. Jones's left hand rests on the "tracker ball" a powerful control that allows her to navigate and manipulate the image effortlessly in any direction. With her right hand poised above a computer keyboard, she skillfully calls up various photographs for analysis. Her vital role as a tracker involves meticulously measuring positions, lengths, angles, and curvatures of these tracks. This invaluable data serves as crucial puzzle pieces for physicists who seek to identify and understand the elusive particles responsible for creating such trails. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time from June 1984, it becomes evident that science truly knows no bounds when driven minds like Renee Jones collaborate with state-of-the-art equipment like bubble chamber scanners. Together they unlock secrets hidden within subatomic realms and propel our understanding of the universe forward one track at a time.
