Bubble Chamber Relativity    

    Questions  

We all know that Momentum and Energy must be conserved, but in this process they ARE NOT CONSERVED! Why not? How can the exercise be solved again, according to the principles of momentum and energy conservation ?

 

Hint: Some particles cannot be detected with the bubble chamber because they do not produce bubbles when traveling through the liquid. (What type of particles?)
