Z particle decay
Z particle decay. " Megatek" computer graphic display of an event from the UA1 detector at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory outside Geneva, showing the decay of a Z particle into two electrons (long white & lilac lines) & some other particles (green). The Z particle, which lives too briefly to be visible itself, was created in a high-energy collision of a proton & antiproton in CERNs Super-Proton-Synchrotron (SPS) collider. The electrically neutral Z is a gauge boson & one of the carriers of the weak force. Its discovery at CERN in 1983 confirmed the " electroweak" theory that unifies the electromagnetic & weak forces. The display outlines the UA1 detector in red. (Run 6059, Event 1010)

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing display of the Z particle decay, captured by the cutting-edge "Megatek" computer graphic technology. Taken at CERN, the renowned European particle physics laboratory near Geneva, this image reveals the intricate process of a Z particle disintegrating into two electrons, depicted as long white and lilac lines. Additionally, various other particles are illustrated in vibrant green hues. Although invisible to the naked eye due to its fleeting existence, the Z particle was brought to life through an energetic collision between a proton and antiproton within CERN's Super-Proton-Synchrotron (SPS) collider. As an electrically neutral gauge boson and one of the carriers of the weak force, its discovery in 1983 played a pivotal role in confirming the groundbreaking "electroweak" theory that unified both electromagnetic and weak forces. The print also highlights the UA1 detector outlined in striking red tones. This advanced apparatus served as an essential tool for capturing such elusive phenomena during scientific research on particle physics. With every intricate detail meticulously rendered on this electronic display screen using state-of-the-art computer graphics technology, this image stands as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of unraveling nature's fundamental building blocks.
