Description
Xenon ion collision event in CERN's CMS detector. Computer-generated graphic of the results of a collision between xenon ions (XeXe collision), as observed by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory. This was one of the first-ever xenon-xenon collision events recorded by the CMS. The large number of tracks emerging from the centre of the detector show the many simultaneous nucleon-nucleon interactions that take place when two xenon nuclei collide, each with 54 protons and 75 neutrons. This experiment took place on 12 October 2017.
