Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
High-energy cosmic ray collision
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 dark core of the jet is about 0.04 mm across)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a high-energy cosmic ray collision in all its mesmerizing glory. In the image, a powerful iron nucleus hurtles through space and crashes into a silver or bromine nucleus within the photographic emulsion. The result is an awe-inspiring "jet" of approximately 850 mesons, which shoots out with tremendous force. What makes this photograph truly remarkable is that it provides us with valuable insights into the astonishing energy carried by certain cosmic rays. By analyzing the divergence of the jet, scientists have been able to calculate that the incoming iron nucleus possessed an astounding total energy exceeding 15,000 GeV (gigaelectronvolts). This serves as a striking example of just how immense these cosmic rays can be in terms of their energy content. The central dark core of this energetic jet measures about 0.04 mm across, highlighting both its intensity and compactness. It's fascinating to witness such dynamic interactions at such microscopic scales. This image not only showcases the beauty found within particle physics but also emphasizes our ongoing quest for understanding some of nature's most enigmatic phenomena. As we delve deeper into nuclear emulsions and unravel the mysteries surrounding cosmic rays, photographs like this one from Science Photo Library serve as invaluable tools for scientific exploration and education alike.
