Electronic display of a 2-jet event in the CDF,the Collider Detector at Fermilab,the particle physics laboratory near Chicago. The display at right shows a section through the CDF's central tracking chambers & drift tubes. A proton & antiproton,accelerated in Fermilab's Tevatron collider,have annihilated in the centre. Their energy materialises as a number of particles,including a quark & an antiquark. These quarks are not seen themselves,but produce two oppositely directed jets (top & bottom) of other particles. The two jets are each about 100 GeV in transverse energy. The image at left shows a detail of one of the jets | |
