Particle Collision

Collision of two protons to produce top and bottom quarks and tau and anti-tau. The red bits indicate the energy measured by the hadron calorimeters and the blue bits indicate the energy measured by the electromagnetic calorimeters. The pink curves show charged particle paths, whilst the light blue lines indicate neutral particle tracks.

Comphep used for event generation, pythia for hadronization and root for event display.
