H1 particle detector electronics at DESY
H1 particle detector. Scientist using an oscillos- cope to test the trigger electronics of H1 particle detector at DESY (Deutsche Elektronen Synchrotron). An accelerator, known as HERA, accelerates protons and electrons to a combined energy of 850 GeV before they collide in the H1 detector. The trigger electronics review all the resulting collision events and discard those which do not fit specified criteria. A maximum of 5 events per second are recorded. It is hoped that data from this detector will provide more information about the quarks in protons and the gluon force moderators that bind them together.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in particle physics research at DESY's H1 particle detector. In the image, a dedicated scientist can be seen engrossed in testing the trigger electronics of this cutting-edge device using an oscilloscope. Located near Hamburg, Germany, DESY is renowned for its state-of-the-art facilities and contributions to scientific discovery. The H1 particle detector plays a crucial role in unraveling the mysteries of subatomic particles. Powered by HERA, an impressive accelerator that propels protons and electrons to a staggering combined energy of 850 GeV, this detector records collision events with remarkable precision. The trigger electronics meticulously sift through these events, discarding any that fail to meet specific criteria. Only five events per second are deemed worthy of further analysis. Scientists hope that data collected from the H1 detector will shed light on the intricate nature of quarks within protons and elucidate the role played by gluons as force mediators binding them together. This ambitious endeavor represents a significant step forward in our understanding of fundamental particles and their interactions. Taken in May 1999, this photograph showcases both meticulous quality control measures and unwavering dedication to scientific exploration at DESY's German particle physics laboratory. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about the universe we inhabit and our relentless pursuit of knowledge on an odyssey into uncharted territories.
