These next 6 event pictures are from a modern detector and show some of the possible decays of a Z particle. (The Z decays in too short a time to be seen.) Try to identify the particles that left these tracks. If you need help, go back to the detector components or go back to the detector end-view.

The Z particles also decay into certain particles that then decay into the particles whose tracks are seen here. What are the secondary particles and the final ones?
