Z particle decay to muon & antimuon. Electronic display of an electron-positron collision in the ALEPH detector at CERN,the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva. The display shows a cross-section of the detector,with the beam tube in the centre (blue) surrounded by various detector components (blue & red). The electron and positron,accelerated to high energy in CERN's LEP collider,annihilate at centre to create a neutral Z particle (one of the carriers of the weak nuclear force). Although too short-lived to be detected directly,the Z reveals itself when it decays into a muon & an antimuon (yellow tracks),which fly off back-to-back through the detector | |
