Tracks
Tracks This is a computer simulation of an electron-positron collision from the DELPHI detector at CERN in 1988 ! The image below shows the original slide, which was well preserved, displaying the DELPHI event No. 4 from February 25, 1988. In the display, the blue outline represents the cylindrical detector. The variously coloured lines are
