Particle tracks

Subatomic particle tracks. Coloured bubble chamber photograph showing tracks left by subatomic particles from a particle accelerator at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory at Geneva. A bubble chamber is a container filled with liquid hydrogen which is superheated - momentarily raised above its normal boiling point by a sudden drop in pressure in the container. Any charged particle passing through the liquid in this state leaves behind a trail of tiny bubbles as the liquid boils in its wake. The bubbles are seen as fine tracks, which show the characteristic paths of different types of particle and which are curved due to an intense applied magnetic field

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of subatomic particles, captured within a bubble chamber at CERN, the renowned European particle physics laboratory in Geneva. The image is an explosion of vibrant colors, revealing the tracks left behind by these elusive particles as they zoom through the liquid hydrogen-filled chamber. The process behind this mesmerizing display begins with superheating the liquid hydrogen by rapidly reducing pressure within the container. As charged particles traverse through this energized state of matter, they create a trail of tiny bubbles that emerge as fine tracks. These tracks are not only visually stunning but also hold valuable information about different types of particles and their characteristic paths. An intense magnetic field applied to the chamber causes these particle tracks to curve gracefully, adding another layer of complexity to this microscopic ballet. This magnified image offers us a rare glimpse into the hidden realm where quantum forces and energies shape our understanding of particle physics. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, we find ourselves captivated by its dynamic nature – frozen moments capturing motion and action on an unimaginably small scale. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in seemingly still images, there exists an underlying force driving everything forward. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a thought-provoking piece that celebrates both scientific discovery and artistic beauty simultaneously.
