DZero Detector

Caption: The DZero detector is about the size of a 3-story house. The detector surrounds the collision point and records the path, energy and charge of short-lived particles emerging from the collisions. Its subsystems record the "debris" emerging from high-energy proton-antiproton collisions, unveiling the forces governing the subatomic world. Tracing the particle tracks back to the center of the collision, scientists discover what processes take place at the core of proton-antiproton collisions.
