Framed Print : High-energy cosmic ray
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
High-energy cosmic ray
A very high-energy cosmic ray iron nucleus shoots into some photographic emulsion & collides with a silver or bromine nucleus in the emulsion to produce a tremendous " jet" of about 850 mesons. From the divergence of the jet, the total energy of the incoming iron nucleus is calculated to be more than 15, 000 GeV - an example of the enormous energy that can be carried by some cosmic rays. (The central bright core of the jet is about 0.04 mm across)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures a mesmerizing moment in the realm of high-energy cosmic rays. In this image, an iron nucleus hurtles through space with such immense force that it collides with a silver or bromine nucleus within a photographic emulsion. The result is nothing short of awe-inspiring—a tremendous "jet" composed of approximately 850 mesons. The sheer power and energy exhibited by this collision is truly mind-boggling. From the diverging pattern of the jet, scientists are able to calculate that the total energy carried by the incoming iron nucleus surpasses a staggering 15,000 GeV (gigaelectronvolts). This serves as a remarkable testament to just how much energy certain cosmic rays can possess. At the heart of this explosive display lies an incredibly tiny core, measuring only about 0.04 mm across. Within its minuscule confines, atomic matter undergoes disintegration and subatomic particles come alive in their intricate dance. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and complexity found within particle physics but also highlights humanity's ongoing quest to unravel the mysteries of our universe at its most fundamental level. It serves as a reminder that even on scales imperceptible to our naked eye, there exists an extraordinary world waiting to be explored—an odyssey into realms unseen yet full of wonder and discovery.
