Nuclear Collisions


Nuclear Collisions
Scientists reconstruct nuclear reactions by detecting fragments emitted in the collisions of two heavy nuclei. The process is very much like trying to recreate a plane accident by collecting & noting the positions, sizes & types of the debris at the crash site. The streaming data shows collisions of Tin beam on Tin foil located just outside the SpiRIT TPC. Other reactions shown in the streaming events are Tin beam on Argon nuclei in the detector gas. Can you identify the different types of events?
