Lead ion collisions. Particle tracks from the first stable run lead ion collisions seen by the ALICE (a large ion collider experiment) detector at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland, on 9th November 2010. Each collision, produced after the ions had been accelerated to an energy of 287 TeV (tera electron volts) by the large hadron collider (LHC), leads to the production of thousands of subatomic particles. The tracks are colour-coded according to energy from low (blue) to high (red). Lead ion collisions are expected to produce quark-gluon plasma, a primordial state of matter thought to have been present in the Universe microseconds after the Big Bang. Shaded areas are elements of the detector. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © CERN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print captures the mesmerizing beauty and complexity of lead ion collisions, a groundbreaking experiment conducted at CERN's ALICE detector in Geneva, Switzerland. Taken on 9th November 2010 during the first stable run, this image showcases the intricate particle tracks resulting from these high-energy collisions. The trails left behind by thousands of subatomic particles are color-coded to represent their energy levels, ranging from low (blue) to high (red). These collisions hold immense significance as they are expected to produce quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter believed to have existed microseconds after the Big Bang. The photograph also highlights various elements of the detector that play a crucial role in capturing these fleeting moments. The shaded areas signify integral components within the detector itself. It is through this advanced technology that scientists can unravel the mysteries surrounding cosmology and gain insights into fundamental particles and quantum chromodynamics. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about the structure of matter. It symbolizes humanity's tireless efforts in pushing scientific boundaries in order to understand our universe better. As we delve deeper into particle physics and explore new frontiers with experiments like those conducted at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, we continue to unlock secrets that shape our understanding of existence itself.
