Proton collision C014 / 1797
Particle tracks from a proton-proton collision seen by the CMS (compact muon solenoid) detector at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. Before the collision the ions had been accelerated by the large hadron collider (LHC). A large number of particles (orange lines) were created by the collision. Among them was a Higgs boson. The particle was not seen, but is revealed through its decay products; a pair of Z bosons that each decay into a pair of muons (long red lines). The Higgs boson is thought to give other particles mass. The first sighting of it was announced by scientists at CERN on 4th July 2012

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 captures the aftermath of a proton-proton collision within the CMS (compact muon solenoid) detector at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. The ions had been accelerated by the powerful Large Hadron Collider (LHC), leading to an explosion of particles upon collision. Among this chaotic dance of subatomic entities lies a significant discovery - the elusive Higgs boson. Although not directly observed in this image, scientists were able to identify its presence through its decay products: a pair of Z bosons that each disintegrate into two long red lines representing muons. This groundbreaking revelation was announced on July 4th, 2012, marking a monumental milestone in particle physics. The Higgs boson is believed to be responsible for imparting mass onto other particles and plays a crucial role in our understanding of the structure and composition of matter. Its detection shed light on fundamental questions about the universe's origins and provided valuable insights into cosmology. Displayed against a black background, this mesmerizing photograph showcases the intricate trajectories left behind by various subatomic particles as they traverse through space-time. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our ceaseless exploration into the mysteries that govern our existence. With its combination of scientific precision and aesthetic beauty, this image encapsulates both the immense complexity inherent in particle collisions and their profound implications for unraveling nature's deepest secrets.
