This liquid hydrogen bubble chamber photograph is the third observation of the production of a negatively charged Omega-meson. The sketch beside the photograph shows the proper assignments of a particle to each track. The paths of netral particles, which produce no bubbles in the liquid hydrogen and therefore leave no tracks, are shown by dashed lines. The presence and properties of the neutral particles are established by the analysis of the tracks of their charged decay products or the application of the laws of conservation of mass and energy, or a combination of both., Credit Line: Photo courtesy Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Abstract/Description: This liquid hydrogen bubble chamber photograph is the third observation of the production of a negatively charged Omega-meson. The sketch beside the photograph shows the proper assignments of a particle to each track. The paths of netral particles, which produce no bubbles in the liquid hydrogen and therefore leave no tracks, are shown by dashed lines. The presence and properties of the neutral particles are established by the analysis of the tracks of their charged decay products or the application of the laws of conservation of mass and energy, or a combination of both.
