This is a bubble chamber picture. It contains examples of many
characteristic features that need too be recognised if one is to
be able to interpret such pictures.
Here, the CERN 2 meter-long bubble chamber was filled with liquid
hydrogen - a clean source of proton targets - and exposed to an
incoming parallel beam of negative kaons (K-) with an energy of
8.2 GeV.
All tracks that are not associated with the parallel beam are background
and will be removed from subsequent pictures.
