Editorial use only. This image may not be used to state or imply endorsement by CERN of any product, activity or service Heavy ion collision event in CERN's CMS detector. Computer-generated graphic of the results of a collision between heavy ions, as observed by the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory. Here, a top quark is produced in association with a Z boson. The tZq state is characterized by three leptons (in this case two electrons and a muon), a jet produced from decay of a bottom quark, and a forward jet. The two muons, represented by the two red lines at left, come from decay of the Z boson. The electron, represented by the green line and green towers at left and the b jet, represented by the orange cone at left, come from decay of the top quark. The forward jet is represented by the orange cone at right. This experiment took place on 16 October 2017.
