Poster Print : High-energy cosmic ray
Poster Prints 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)

Experience the awe-inspiring power of the universe with Media Storehouse's Poster Prints featuring the stunning image of a high-energy cosmic ray collision. Witness the moment a cosmic ray iron nucleus pierces through photographic emulsion, colliding with a silver or bromine nucleus, resulting in a spectacular 'jet' of energy. Our posters are printed with the highest quality standards, bringing the beauty and mystery of Science to your home or office. Order now and let this mesmerizing image ignite your curiosity and inspire your imagination.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 13.1cm x 59.4cm (5.2" x 23.4")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
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.
