Spectacular decay of K+

Picture from CERN 2-metre hydrogen bubble chamber exposed to a beam of positive kaons ( ) with energy 10GeV entering from the bottom of the picture.

Spectacular examples of a knock-on electron and a lone spirialling 'Compton' electron shows that negative particles turns to the left.

In the middle of the picture a decays into . Each pion then stops before decaying into a muon . The two positive muons move a short distance before stopping and decaying into spiralling positrons.

The negative muon fails to produce an electron because it has gone into the glass window of the bubble chamber!

The decay scheme which includes the various unseen neutrinos produced in the decays is:
