NA49: lead-lead collision
CERN-EX-9600001 tirage 01
Please click on the reference number on the right of the picture.
This is an image of an actual lead ion collision taken from tracking detectors on the NA49 experiment, part of the heavy ion project at CERN. These collisions produce a very complicated array of hadrons as the heavy ions break up. It is hoped that one of these collisions will eventually create a new state of matter known as quark-gluon plasma.
