This image shows a typical outcome of the collision of a proton and an antiproton.

Snapshot of a collision. This image from the DZero detector shows a typical outcome of the collision of a proton and an antiproton at Fermilab's Tevatron. The curved red paths mark the trajectories of charged particles recorded in the detector's central tracking chamber. The colored bars indicate particle energies deposited in the detector. The blue disks correspond to part of DZero's physical structure.
