The dark lines
in this picture are produced by charged particles as they force their way
through the bubble chamber liquid. At the arrowed point, an antiproton
beam particle that
has entered from the top of the picture and annihilated with a proton
to
produce a neutron
and
an antineutron
.The
continues
(see dotted line) and itself annihilates with a proton
producing
a 'star’ of
5 tracks with a total energy consistent with the rest mass of an
and
a proton
being
converted into energy.
